Printed Colors Don't Match the Monitor

Wednesday May 10, 2006
John writes: "My problem is my printer does not print the colors as I see them on my monitor. The picture looks very good on the monitor, but does not print true to the screen. I have read somewhere about a setting [in Photoshop Elements 3] to tell the printer not to choose the colors and hues that it thinks best, but to print what I have on screen. I know there is more to the subject than that, so where do I learn the basics of this problem?"
