Why my colors on screen are different in printing?

[JEWms]

I have not changed anything in my settings and my colors on screen are what I
want. When I go to print, they are completely different. I don't understand
how to get them to match. I would think the default colors would be fine...
so how did they change, without me doing anything? I have tried a few things
and it did not help... I am just wasting ink and frustrated. Please HELP!

The colors on your screen may be what you want but what you really need to
do is to print something and then make your monitor look like the print.

Computer monitors, video cards, brand of ink, type of paper etc can change
the way your colors look.

Is this a new problem? Could need a more current printer driver. Check into that at
the manufacturer's web site.

Compare printer and screen colors by printing a color sampler
On the Format menu, click Color Scheme.
In the Color Scheme task pane, click Custom color scheme.
Click the Standard tab, and then click Print color sampler.

Look in the Commercial Printing under tools, clear everything but "Any color (RGB)-
Best for desktop printers."
Something may have changed there.
