Generally speaking, you may want to learn all about color-management, calibrate and profile your equipment, and make sure you set and use color-management preferences and settings appropriate for your needs for your display and printer.
Most color matching problems are rooted in the fact that the display monitor is not set to display your colors accurately. There is equipment you can use, but a really rough, poor-person's way to get started (or for use in the interim) can be to print an image, then adjust your monitor to make it look as close as possible to your print. Then when you edit your images you'll be preparing them for proper printing. This may involve changing settings on the monitor itself or in the display driver. But I caution you that you many never get things consistent and right without getting your head around what good color-management is all about.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the realm, it's proven near impossible to teach color-management one post at a time on a forum, but there are some good references out there. One of our members here, Gary Ballard, has published some good "getting started" info.
Good luck.
