Printer or monitor calibration?

hey all,
I'm trying to print pictures and when I do the print comes out much much darker than it appears on my monitor. Neither have been "calibrated". Question is, can I do anything with the printer to more closely match what I'm seeing on my screen? Printer is a canon PIXMA IP4000

thanks

Probably easier to adjust the monitor to the dark print and then what you see on the screen will come out pretty much the same.

You could play with the print driver, my Epson 1280 driver has brightness, contrast, saturation controls and yours should as well,.

Calibrate your monitor. With a calibrated monitor you should get consistent results whether you print at home, at a lab, or online.
