I processed this and looked fine on my lcd monitor, however when it was printed, it looked very gray. I just need to know if it's my monitor or my printer. Thanks for the help.

Assuming the picture is intended to be sRGB (which I assigned in Photoshop CS2), the picture looks like the white balance is too cool (too high a colour temperature), which gives it a blue/grey quality. I added Warming Filter (85) at 40% density in Photoshop CS2, and it looked a lot better to me on my calibrated monitor.
