/dev/parport0 disappeared

hey guys...
you might recall a previous thread where I was desperately trying to setup a parallel port scanner and ended up doing it by changing the config of the sane backend to
port /dev/parport0
now... I went and try to use the scanner and it doesn't work... how inSANE...
I've also noticed that my /dev/parport0 doesn't exist anymore.... I suppose this is probably the reason, but why did this happen, and what do I do to fix it????
EDIT:
I actually realised that my parport0 is recreated by running the ppdiag diagnostic script... huh?? http://umax1220p.sourceforge.net/ppdiag
