Can't Select 'film' As Document Type Anymore.

Suddenly i can't select 'film' as document type anymore on my Epson 4870 Photo.  It used to work fine for years. Am working on a mac with cs5. I tried shutting photoshop down and restarting scanner. Installed new driver. Nothing helps.... Is it maybe because the lamp in the lid is failing?
