I downloaded printer driver for brother mfc240c, but even after install, I get a message that says the driver isn't installed.

I have uninstalled and re-installed driver from Brother site. Still won't print. It says the driver isn't installed. When I go to programs, it shows the Brother folder but says "Empty"

Open the printer and scanners folder an delete all the devices (Brother Printer, Brother Fax, Brother PC-Fax if installed). Point to device an right click the mouse button.
Restart the computer.
Download the software from Brother Solutions Center. Download the whole suite not just the drivers. Make sure you select the software that is compatible with your version of the OS :Windows 7 32 bits, Windows 7 64 bits, Windows 8 32 bits, etc.
Install the software. If you are going to use a USB cable to connect the MFC to the computer, install a local USB printer. If you are going to use Ethernet network cable, install a wired network printer, and if wireless connection then install a wireless printer.
If you have problems finding or attributing an IP address to your printer (for Non-USB connections) there is Brother program that helps you attribute an IP address. You will find it on the same page as the software suite on Brother's site.

SOURCE: brother dcp-7020 can't scan and get cc027 error

Ok I know how to fix this issue, this involves going into the registry editor, also only available in windows XP, so be careful!
Click START -> RUN and type in REGEDIT
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> BROTHER -> CONTROLCENTER -> (version number) -> (model number) -> DEVICEINFO
Look in the right hand window for ENABLEWIA, if the value is set to 0, set it to 1.
Reboot your computer, should be fixed!

Sir/Madam

To solve this issue, please install the latest scanner driver. If you use MFL-Pro Suite Software,
  1. Click Start => Control Panel => Programs => Programs and Features.
  2. Select Brother MFL-Pro Suite from the list, click Uninstall and follow the on screen instructions.
  3. Once the uninstallation is completed, disconnect the interface cable and restart the PC.
If you do not use MFL-Pro Suite Software,
Make a temporary folder on your HDD to save the downloaded self-extracting file, e.g. C:\bront

Please click here to download the uninstall tool to remove the drivers.
Once downloading is completed, double click the downloaded file to extract it.

"ZIP Self Decompression" appears. Click DECOMPRESS.

"The decompression process was successful." will appear. Click OK.

A folder will be created in the temporary folder created in Step 1.

Open the folder and double click DelInf32.exe. "Brother MFC Uninstaller" dialog box will appear.

Select your model and click OK.
"Complete" will appear. Click OK.

Once the uninstallation is completed, disconnect the interface cable and restart the PC.

Click here to download the latest "WHQL certified Printer Driver and Scanner Driver", and install it following the Install Instructions.

I have mfc240c it has been on computer and still shows to be on computer in control pannel .it will pull document through feeder but it will not show up on computer

Hello,

It is possible that the printer is not selected as your default printer: double click the printer in the control panel and see if there's a v-mark for selection for this printer.

When having the MFC240c as default printer and the device still isn't working: The driver installed on the computer, for communication with the printer, could be not working correctly.
For a new installation for drivers on the computer you must be logged in as a user having administrator rights.
When not having the CD for reinstallation, go to the support site for a download of the drivers and software:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/model_top/colormfc/mfc240c_all.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc240c_all

0. Get a download from the support link above.
1. Before reinstallation disconnect the printer; disconnect the USB cable.
2. Remove the printer icon from the control panel: delete the printer before reinstalling drivers and software.
3. Install the drivers and software.

When needing more help, just add a comment in this thread.

Perhaps you can download the software. This table from Brother support lists the drivers available for the MFC-240C and Windows 2000: (click the "more information" link before downloading if you are unsure)
