Printer problem...Brother MFC-240C
I have aquired a Brother MFC-240C printer. I can not get it to print. I did not get a install disk with it. I can see the printer. The printer will make a copy of something so it will work. I just do...

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...?
No not yet Corrosive. Thanks for the tips. I will be signing off for tonight soon. So I will check back in tomorrow around 11 EST to see any ideas and get to work on trying to get this thing working.
What version of Windows was listed for the last driver?
Did you try installing the driver as an Admin?
Did you try installing under compatibility mode?
