If you haven't already done so, you might want to try converting the image from RGB to CMYK. Go to Image, Mode, and click CMYK. RGB are monitor colors, and CMYK are print colors. |

In a nutshell, you can't. One is made of light. One is ink/toner on paper.
All any of us can do is interpret and adjust to get the best possible result. If you can get fairly close, you're ahead of the game. |

You need to calibrate your monitor and your printer. I have found the monitor has the biggest effect.
And make sure you're viewing in and printing from PS using these calibrated profiles.
IIRC if you work in the colourspace of your printer then you should get the same results when you print - although they'll be all over the place if you send work out to be printed.
There's a lot of colour management info in this forum and elsewhere - try a search.
