The problem is that the > scanner does not see the FreeBSD machine. I'm going to make some guesses here, because your information is still sketchy. Specifically, I'm assuming that you have Samba running on the FreeBSD machine, and that the other (Windows) computers can write files to the Samba shares on the FreeBSD machine, but that some kind of GUI comes up when you scan, and offers Windows machines as possible destination, but doesn't offer the FreeBSD machine. Assuming all of that is correct, this is a Samba-tuning question, and you may need a Samba expert. But first you can check whether the machines agree on the master browser, and whether there's an Active Directory lookup occurring in each (Windows machine vs. printer-scanner) case. Are these hosts all on the same IP subnet?
