Synchronizing colors

Any suggestions on getting the colors that print in synch with with colors
that appear on the display? As it is, I can get something as I want it on
the display, but it doesn't matter because it's very different when it prints
(eg darker).
I've played around with Printing Preferences - color management,
brighness, saturation, etc - but this doesn't do it and it sure is
cumbersome. I'd like to adjust the printer (HP Photosmart 3180) through the
device (if it can be adjusted) or the printer software, rather than adjust
each file before I print it.

There are so many variables here it's an almost impossible task. Some of
the variables include:

Your graphics adapter
Your monitor
The program you are printing from
The paper you are printing to
The printer you are printing to

If I were you I'd google for some comprehensive documents on color
management.
