It was for Windows XP . I have started to use it as a FreeBSD server client . It started to corrupt the accessed files . I have changed memories , without help . I have installed a Linux to use it . It did not work either . Locally in Windows XP it is still working . Possible reasons : Linux parts are accessing some parts which Windows XP is not using : These parts may be in fault . As client to FreeBSD or Linux server , a similar state is occurring . My opinion is that if your scanner is working under Windows XP , continue to use it in that way . If you need to use a scanner in FreeBSD , review SANE (*Scanner* Access Now Easy) documentation and select a suitable scanner to buy and use it .
