What have you changed on your system between the time it was working and now? the /dev for the scanner should be created by udev. you could try running udev-trigger and see if it shows up then. probably watch syslog at the same time. also, watch syslog (tail -f /var/log/syslog) while you unplug and replug the scanner. You should see some activity. posting the relevant results would be helpful. A
