Welcome to the (hellish) world of colourmatching. Fussing with the colour on screen is virtually meaningless. If the two are supposed to be the same, they SHOULD be the same. If they are displaying differently, they undoubtedly are different and do need edited in image editing software. As for what exact colour is shown on screen and what is printed, well it depends on the strengths, weaknesses, and settings of each device (whether screen or printer). On a printer, the output will be affected by what paper and processes are used. If the colours used are selected using Pantone numbers or other matching system, you have the basis for the expectation that the final printed output is identical to the Pantone swatch. If the printer and media have been correctly colour matched. If the colours are being designed on-screen and you want your output to exactly match the on-screen colour, you have to colour match and adjust the display before doing colour work, colour match the printer, and know what the colour limitations of your devices are.
