I'm trying to get my brother MFC240c to work but I'm having issues trying to force my
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc240clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb

error processing mfc240clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
mfc240clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb

This file is sitting right on my desktop. I know I'm not typing it wrong.

You have to move to the Desktop first with cd Desktop command. Note the capital D there.

Mikewhatever is right. You should also try to just install it normally first; only force it if it won't play nice.

Why not double click the file and let gdebi handle the installation, it will also install any dependencies if needed.
