Printing Problem

2007-08-25 by Bob Builder

I'm having a problem getting  my prints to match  my  screen.  After all 
the editing in  CS3  I go to print and the  print preview shows  a 
picture 2 stops lighter with a color shift.  Proof colors shows just a 
minute color shift.  ( to be expected )

1.  The monitor is calibrated.
2.  Printer profile:  PRO38 PLPP  (Epson  3800) W/Premium Luster Profile
3.  No color adjustment.
4.  Photoshop manages colors.
5.  Document Profile Adobe RGB (1998)

Same picture converted to BW.
ABW preview also shows about a 1 to 2 stop lightening.

It's driving me nuts.

Can anyone help?

..Bob
