If you're using photoshop to print, try letting the software run the printer. The following are settings for PSCS. Godders has previously posted some for PSCS 2. They're a bit different. In the PhotoShop pull down menu of PSCS, go to "color settings." Set "settings" to U.S. Prepress Defaults. Set Working space for RGB to Adobe RGB (1998). Gray should be set to Dog Gain 20% and Spot to Dot Gain 20%. Your BW print should be in RGB, 8 bit mode. In the Print with Preview box, under "color management," the source space should be set to "Document: Adobe RGB (1998). In "Print Space" choose the icc profile for the paper you're using and set intent to relative colrimetric. In the print box, choose the paper your using, go to print settings and click advanced. Uncheck the high speed box and choose either best photo or photo rpm. Go to Color Settings and turn color management off. That should yield a print that matches the levels you see on your monitor.
