Does the scanner make any unusual bad noises? (Other than the typical noises most scanners make like clunking noises). Worst case scenario is that the lamp on the scanner is burning out, and might explain the yellowish tinge around every scan.

Thank you for responding so quickly! It just tried scanning and it just makes the usual light, occassional, clunking. The scan came out with the yellow tinge and with a blue-green, wide line in the middle of the screen. If it's the bulb, is it difficult or expensive to replace? Now what?

I have a ScanJet 2100C and had a similar problem with it tinting in other colors. For over a week, I racked my brains out and did everything you've done. My scanner does not have an on/off switch, so I didn't think of recycling the power. When I finally unplugged the power supply and the scanner re-booted, my problem vanished. For what it's worth, try this if you haven't and good luck!
