Did the above actually install though? If it didn't then try as root:
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/mfc240c
After this, try installing the mfc240clpr-1.0.0-9.i386.deb package.
The above is probably failing because it's assuming the directory
structure /var/spool/lpd already exists and it's trying to create the
mfc240c directory inside it. So using "mkdir -p" creates all the parent
directories as well.

If the driver didn't install then this could by why the wrapper isn't
installing cleanly?

Try:
export COLUMNS=200; dpkg -l | grep mfc240
This'll show you all packages installed with "mfc240" in their name.
Then you can use "apt-get remove", "aptitude remove" or "dpkg -r" to
remove the package.. in most cases. Unless it's really broken in which
case paste the results when you try removing.
