to go to the control panel and open up Adobe Gamma. Follow the steps 
carefully. It works very well. The problem I had was that everytime I 
used it, I couldn't get what I had the first time. That is the nature 
of any method that rely on human site and color preseption. An 
electronic device will read the same every time. 
Calibrating the monitor is the first and necessary step in color 
management, but alone is not all that is necessary to get what you 
see on the monitor. Try Adobe Gamma, then print using the same 
settings you have been and see if it makes any difference.
