If the photos are too dark after printing them, then you might have an
underexposure problem with the camera.  Take a look at the histogram
view for the images and see if it indicates underexposure (image data
will mostly be to the left on the histogram with very little on nothing
on the right).  When my 1D was badly underexposing, the image on the LCD
looked just fine.  However, when I looked at the histogram or viewed
Levels in Photoshop or tried to view the images on my well-calibrated
monitor, there was always something amiss.  Images always appeared too
dark on the monitor, always printed too dark (in both cases, unless I
did rather radical adjustments in Photoshop), and always had histogram
data on the left side but not on the right side.  I never could figure
out why the images appeared just fine on the LCD (and no, it wasn't a
matter of adjusting the LCD brightness -- I played around with that that
the adjustment level for the LCD in no way accounted for the dramatic
underexposure in the images).  Just something to think about.  And try
some exposure compensation (bump it up to the plus side by a stop or
two, capture some images and see what you get).
