Two things come to mind:

1). Do you mean that the colour that comes off your printer is a lot lighter than you expect? If this is the case, have you got the printer options set to Best (rather than Normal or Draft - or whatever they are called in Photoshop)? Also is your printer cartridge full? Try printing a test page.

2). Have you adjusted the gamma settings on your monitor? Your Photo software should have a Colour Management option, probably under the File menu.
