Digital BW, The Print

Eric (and others)

I am still struggling to get Lightroom to print properly.
I have just made a print from PS7, Imported the file in its final 
(print) form to lightroom, where it looks, on screen exactly as it did 
in PS7.
I have set my print settings the same as in PS7, i.e. same print 
profile, perceptual,(there is no choice of black point comp. on/off), 
same presets (semigloss paper, best photo, no color adjustment), but 
still it prints much darker.
I am wondering if somehow I am getting the printer/paper profile applied 
twice?

Can anyone suggest what else I try?

BTW Why are Adobe so utterly useless when it comes to customer support? 
Has anyone EVER got a reply to a support question?
