Hi curry,
That is normal.
The way the screen handles colours is totally different from the way the
printer handles them. IIRC, the screen uses an additive process (adding
wavelengths together to produce the desired colours), but the printer uses a
subtractive process (mixing pigments to produce the desired colours, each
pigment "retains" wavelengths...).
Even professional do not trust their screen to tell them if the colours are
right. They always print out and check that way.
You could get your screen to approximate your particular printer. Print a
test sheet and adjust your screen settings to match the printed sheet. But
no matter what you do, you will always have discrepancies between the two.
