Outstanding work, my friend.
The light is perfect in these images.
What you're suffering from is incorrect white balance.
In Digital Photo Professional, use the Click White Balance tool and click on areas which are neutral grey (or, failing that, white). You'll find that it'll warm your images up and they'll pop.
As for printing -- your printer will /always/ print darker than what you see on screen. Even on my 78xx series printer, I make a test strip of 24" wide, with each image 2.4" wide (ten side by side). In Photoshop I brighten (levels, by adjusting midtone slider) each by 0.1 increments and print the lot out in a strip (so, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3...0.9, 1.0). The one that looks best, I apply that adjustment globally and print.
You've done great.
