Ricky, have you tried to use Windows Update to see if the computer could find a generic driver online to use?
It's a long shot, but sometimes Win7 and Win10 drivers will work on Win 8.1.
Hopefully this article from Brother will help: http://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc240c_all&faqid=faq00002994_002

I have but the updates failed. Trying them 1 by 1 now to see which one fails. I know the Brother one failed. Sounds like a project tomorrow.

Have you tried to manually add the printer and manually select the driver like we used to have to do back in Win98 days...?
