Hello Tymgoss, welcome to LQ,

normaly in Linux we use cups for printing. cups comes with a webinterface, you open it in a browser, the adress is
Code:
http://localhost:631
there you can add the printer.

Brother Linux Driver may be required
Also, you may need to get the Linux driver from Brother, they have them on their website.

Click Here for a thread detailing installation of that very same printer, MFC255CW, on Ubuntu
