I know what you are talking about. I've given up, for the time being, printing out images. The problem is in the calibration of your processing software, screen and printer. Less expensive LCD screens are notoriously difficult to calibrate accurately, as are cheaper printers. Ideally you need to use a device like a Spyder to calibrate your monitor and generate a profile that can be feed to your printer. Also using subtractive printers (CMYK) make life difficult if you are processing your images in Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB.
One way around this is to process in RGB and then when you have finished your processing save a copy in CMYK colour space and use that to colour manage for your printer. It's not perfect but it's a temporary cheap fix.
