When I look at a JPEG image on the screen, it looks just fine. Bit when I
print it, the image is too dark. I have tryed other JPEG images but the
result is the same. Any help is appreciated.



Check to see if you have an *.icm for your monitor/printer setup.

Also check to see what you have set within the printer properties/setup
for its various settings. Often a user sets their screen to "bright and
lighter contrast" than the printer is set for, and gamma higher than 1.0
[within the video adapter advanced settings] and/or adjusted the
hue/color/saturation levels.

You can download one of the old monitor test screens [like the old TV
set screens] and make sure you haven't "bleached" the screen or
otherwise messed up the normal viewing.
