Just bought a Canon IP4000 Photo Printer. Help!

So I tested it out with 1 print and the picture seems a little darker than the image on my computer. Why is that? Kind of pissed.

Don't be pissed. You just need to learn some color management.

What program, what color space, what profile, yadda yadda. A little bit more info may help us help you with your problem.

To start, try converting the image to sRGB and then print. If that doesn't fix your problem try giving us some more info.

Have you read the manual? Does it say anything about color space?

Is your monitor calibrated? If not, you're just guessing when you print what's on the monitor.
