The driver for the MFC210C should be in either brother-cups-wrapper-common or brother-cups-wrapper-extra.

With all sources but 'proposed' and 'backports' enabled, run
'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-common cupsys-client cupsys-bsd cupsys-driver-gutenprint brother-cups-wrapper-common brother-cups-wrapper-exra gnome-cups-manager'

Then run 'gnome-cups-manager' to set up the printer, if necessary.

As a last resort, you can download a .deb package with the correct driver here:
