Bug Description

My printer will not print.
When I run computer janitor it brings up the below program to be removed.

mcf8840dlpr:i386
Package will be removed
Size: 0B

Package is no longer supported: It is no longer in the Package archive.

Brother print driver

Cleanup fails with the message; System clean up could not complete. Be sure no other package manager such as Synaptic
or Update Manager is running.
 It then reports a system problem and sends it off.

How do I remove the package and install a working driver?
