It seems that the printer is not supported. Here is the page on Linuxprinting.org
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-MFC-240C

Though you might want to message Lexmark about it, the more they hear that people want Linux drivers, the more likely they are to make them available.

In the Brother Linux driver page seems that the driver is current under development (http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html)
but seems like the MFC-210C driver works (only some functions) the driver download is here (for Debian/Ubuntu)

Ooops, the correct link for the driver is this
http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/cups_wrapper/cupswrappermfc210c_1.0.0-1_i386.deb&lang=English_gpl

The other is in .rpm format for Fedora/Mandriva/Suse

Sorry for the inconvenience.
