I don't know what look you are going for, but I like 2. the face is completely lit, and the pose works. The processing in ONE doesn't work for me.

What setup?

I like both poses and for me the shadow depth is about right for the mood of the shots.
Both images have very strong colour casts on the skin. In shot 1 it is very Magenta, in fact his lips are bright purple in shot 2 it is a rather green cast. there are also lighting hot spots on his face, forehead, end of nose, under eyes Etc... these can be corrected in PS with the clone stamp tool but i might have tried to diffuse the light source more.
The cast could be from a white balance issue or reflections from coloured surfaces, again a layer mask in PS will fix it.

That will be a colour space issue, most printers use RGB or sRGB colour space.
That is the default for most cameras and edit software, but Adobe Photoshop can be set to others such as Adobe which will cause a difference between the monitor output and printing.
You could look for a setting in your printer dialogue box that Says let the printer determine colour or allow the application to manage this.
Usually best to set all to be using the same colour space, if you end up outputing a file for professional printing you may have to set the application to something like CMYK etc.. but otherwise sRGB will cover most issues.
If everything is set right and you are still seeing big colour changes you will need to calibrate your monitor, ideally this required a dedicated calibration sensor, these are often bundled with better Inkjets.
