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 don't have the driver, I guess, to make it print. A chat with Brother says there are no drivers for Windows 8.1 with this printer. They mentioned something about a generic driver.

 

Can anyone help me make this printer work with my OS?

Not a big deal, just not needed is all as "r" has to do an "f" first in order to attempt any sector repair.

 

Ricky, you may want to check the S.M.A.R.T. statistics on the drive also. Will show if read/write is starting to fail.

This has been a mess. I have Acronis 2017 to back up my computer. It did back it up and the backups were validated. However the software for some reason would not start up. So I have just started over. Fresh install and downloading my programs again. Hope the next adventure is better.
