Check your color settings in Photoshop, shift+ctrl+k (edit>color settings). Play around in there some. When the color settings window pops up, click the "advanced mode" box, and that will give you more options at the bottom of that window. It sounds like your blackpoint compensation is off. Try toying with that a little. BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES...take a screen shot and save it, or write down your settings, as you may want to go back to them.
Also, before you print, go to Image>Mode>convert to profile. In the window that pops up, try changing some settings in there, then make some prints to see the results.
Color correction is tough, and there's a ton of variables like the age and style of your monitor, the type of printer, your color profile of your print, cmyk/rgb etc. etc. Calibration software will help to calibrate your monitor to your printer.
