just switching to a random profile wo't do any good. you need a proper profile for the monitor to see what is "standard". the profile for the printer assumes that your monitor is an accurate reflection of the file's contents and transforms that to the printer's profile. if the monitor profile isn't truly the correct one for the monitor, you have not made any progress. Adobe provides tools to get the black point, white point, and gamma reasonably correct, provided you know the characteristics of your monitor. unless you have a monitor that has a profile from the very limited set provided with Windows, you are out of luck. Macs have it easy since the OS reads the monitor profile from the monitor and matches it up to what comes on some disk somewhere, perhaps even included with the OS.
