Mind you I also run my computer in a darker room then most people. If your calibrator has a ambient calibration that also helps. Room brightness has an effect as well.
I'm aware of how calibration and ambient affects visual color representation.

You've failed to tell me why the difference, though.

Take a DNG file in LR. Minor edits, looks good on screen, send to print: too dark.

Export the DNG to JPG. DNG and JPG look IDENTICAL on screen. Use Windows Photo Printing Wizard and send to print: looks great.

Both use same print settings in the Print Properties.

WTF?
