What you are after is WYSIWYPrint. If your print from the yellow monitor has the same yellow tint, you are getting WYSIWYPrint. You can then adjust the monitor image to the whiteness you are looking for, and the print will be the same.
Interesting concept, but if an image shows yellow on one monitor, and blue on another, without adjusting the image, then it can't print both at once, and it hasn't been "tuned" to either. Actually, unless you are doing an Absolute Colorimetric print (which paints paper white the tone of another device, say a monitor) you won't get a literal match to either. Thats where softproofing comes in. But its appropiate to get side by side monitors to a similar whitepoint (tint of white on screen) before moving forward, I certainly agree to that. But that requres that tools to do so are available, which simply may not be the case for most dualhead Windows videocards...
