Nick,

Good, I figured there was just something no installed right.

These are the best settings:

For PS/Color Settings you should just stick with Gray Gamma 2.2.
Spot is irrelevant.  The bottom should have BPC and Relative CM -- they
are the default usually.

In the Print Preview is where you select Gray Matte Paper for the Print Space.
This will make a much better match from screen to paper.
