Printing too dark

Hi,
I have a Canon 350D, PSPX2 and an Epson R1800 printer. Mainly use Epson
Premium Glossy paper. Computer is a Dell Latitude hooked up to a Dell
monitor, calibrated with Pantone Huey. Photos look fine on the monitor and
on other monitors. Problem is that prints come out very dark.
I normally have colour management in PSP turned off and have tried the Epson
"Best photo" with no improvement.
Similarly, if I use the Epson ICM with input profile sRGB IEC61966-21 and
printer profile SPR1800 Premium Glossy prints come out too dark.
At present I am using the Color Controls but have to have the Brightness at
+20 and Contrast at -13 to get the print looking OK.
One thing I cannot seem to change is the Color Mode. I use sRGB on the
camera but the Epson seems locked into Adobe RGB - how can I change this?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Gordon
