I have a Canon IX-12F flatbed scanner, but the buld looks  rather 
yellow not white. Is it possible to replace the buld, and if  so, 
how does one set about doing so?

Me too! Got any good software to run it?

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.

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.
