Default Printing problems

Can anyone help with a problem I have.

I wanted to print a home made card. After many manyhours on photoshop getting it all OK the print was abysmal.

It came out mainly green.

However if I print using Canon's Easy print system the colours are fine but it wont print as a card only the image.

Is there a conflict when I print from Elements?

Has anyone had problems like this before, any suggestions would be of help?

When the card was saved did it save the complete finished item or just the image.
In CS I save as jpegs and when finished print with epson photoquicker. They say its easy to calibrate everything but it can take many hours of tweaking the profiles to get them right. So do it the simplest way.

Is your colour space the same in photoshop as the printer? - one could be set for sRGB and the other with a differnet profile which could result in a colour shift

Jon I don't have any problem with the colours they print out brilliant, its just sometimes they look very pixeled and grainy and I was wondering if there was an optimum setting.
Sorry (Wrong thread)

Jon Dont know I will check. i have been "loaned" a Spyder for monitor calibration as well. Could this help?

I assume i would look under the printer properties to check what the profile is?
