OK, more stuff done.I installed the PrintFix software that was on the second disk. It allows you to set profiles based on the printer/paper combo's and them make and adjust prints until you get the output to match the screen, supposedly. I played with that for about an hour until I got what I feel will be usable. At least now I can adjust a file to look "right" and it prints very close to that. However, it still isn' what I used to get before the old monitor took the jolt! I am turning off all printer stuff, other than setting the paper profiles, then telling the printer to let photoshop/lightroom run the show. One biggie that I really like in lightroom. Once I get a good print, I don't have to save, etc.Just leave it be, and the next time I open it, it will be setup just like before. Thanks for all the help folks!
