My printer is fail and scans in black and white, but it broke'd and my dad wont get a new one till it is 100% broken
Break it yourself. Either,
A) Leave a beverage on or near it and have a "pet" knock it over, or
B) If your parents are lames when it comes to computers, just delete the printer's drivers. If they somehow manage to figure out what's up, there are plenty of other ways to sabotage the software, rendering it useless. (Deleting it from the registry seems like a good bet to me.)
