Highly likely the lamp isn't producing enough light in the right part of
the spectrum, common problem with scanners.

Ummm, possible, but I would have thought this would have manifested as
stripes on the scan, might be worth checking the connections though.

Errrm, HP are highly unlikely to sell that part, I've had to scrap £1000
worth of HP inkjet because they wouldn't sell the heater bulb (1200XL
with postscript) You might find one second user, you might also be able
to find an equivalent as there are several companies that specialise in
CCFL etc. lamps now.
