Then here's one you'll probably really dislike. Mac's come with
ColorSync software that will allow you to match monitors to printers and
scanners according to ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles.

Mirko,
This is a common problem that graphic designers encounter when proofing
their work. The only way to make sure that your colors match between the
monitor and the printer is to calibrate the monitor to that specific
printer.
This can be done using the controls on your monitor, ie brightness
contrast color balance etc. Play with them, print something out and
adjust again until you get close enough to be satified.
If color matching is a critical issue: the expensive way to correct that
is to purchase color balancing equipment and software through a digital
artistry magazine (eg Adobe Magazine), or call your local digital
service buerau and pay them to color balance your monitor
