 Back on my windows set up I had this problem all the time, it's been better on the Mac, however both have been calibrated with a Spyder and that didn't help this problem. It seems to make sure colours are correct but brigtness on a backlit screen is hard to calibrate to a print.

In the end on the Windows PC I just got a feel for what would look right when printed. I'd brighten everything up before printing and I used to print contact sheets of all the selected photos to test the settings before I got the main prints done. A cheap A4 printer that you use yourself is good for doing this before you export files and take them to get high-quality stuff done at a photo developers.
