dont think you can get it exactly how it will come out on paper mate but i use adobe gamma correction program.

alsoyo can only change brightness by using the FN key and brightness up or down.

Which are the correct colours, the screen or the photo.
If it is the screen that looks better, are you using compatible inks in the printer.

I did a test a while ago, I thought my pictures looked OK on compatible but when I printed using genuine inks the difference showed up alarmingly.

I'm told that you need to 'profile your monitor'

If you are using Photoshop, it comes with Adobe Gamma where you can calibrate the monitor.

Read this link, it's a bit long winded but might help you out.

Edit: Yea I know it's a laptop but it's still a screen.
