My canon s9000 printer doesn't print the same colours that i have on screen.?

what should i do or what could it be?

Answers:
You should get a Spyder--they're a way to colour calibrate your monitor so that what prints out looks the same as what you see on your screen. The cheapest ones start around $80.

get a colored ink cartrage
YOUr printre and your screen might need calibrating. Read the manual for both.

It is most likey that the printer is off colour so I would start by running a callibration on your printer, but LCD monitors are no great at getting colours right either.
use photoshop to correct colors when you want to print
i had this problem too and i found that colors cant be as same as each other but it can be adjust to be more like what do you see in the screen and the paper you use is important
It could be that your monitor uses and RGB spectrum and reflection of light, and the printer uses a CYMK colour spectrum and the absorption of light.

What you see on the printer is never going to match what you have on the screen.
