I would use the brightness sliders. Count yourself lucky if that's 
the only diff from the screen - color casts are much more difficult 
to correct. I'm always amazed by people's feedback on being spot-on 
perfect match with their monitors - its kind of like striking a 
lottery.

The screen is a completely independent system to the printer while 
using monitor profiles and printer profiles do bring them closer, 
they are enough variance and fluctuations in the monitor to make it 
a very challenging task to print match. 

I trust you are proofing them in Photoshop? THat's the ultimate 
match test. These are my thoughts anyway - i'm just a passionate 
hobbyist to photography.
