Paul,

Your goal is to get printed material that looks like what you see through the microscope?

I can't think of ANY way that'll do that for you automatically.

When a print lab technician or a printer's technician is adjusting the color to make it come out looking right, they LOOK at the output and adjust it based on they eye and mind to look like reality.

Is your microscope portable? Can you take it to the printer and show the technician the slide so they can make the print match the slide?

If so, perhaps you can sit with the technician and s/he can make adjustments till you agree that the output looks like the microscope slide.

It sounds like a pain. But how else can you make the printer's output look like what you see though a microscope eyepiece.
