:I have a Canon IX-12F flatbed scanner,

Me too! Got any good software to run it?

 but the buld looks  rather 
:yellow not white.

Mine looks greenish-yellow, not at all like the HP SJ-IIC's bulb. I think it is
normal.

Probably because it is a B&W line art scanner, the bulb is not critical and it
does not have to be white.

 Is it possible to replace the bulb, and if  so, 
:how does one set about doing so?

Haven't had to do it though, but the HP Scanjet+ uses the same Canon engine.
You can order them from Canon or HP. I have been told that if Canon made the
original engine, HP just tacks a 'C' in front of Canon's replacement part
number and uses it as their replacement part number (ie, If Canon's replacement
part# is 12345, then HP's replacement# is C12345).

I'm not sure what type of lamp it takes, it's probably a series of incandescent
lamps, but it does not look like the usual fluorescent lamp.
