David,
A few thoughts (and please forgive me if some of them are too obvious, -
sometimes it's easy to omit something obvious):
1. Make sure the color handling is OFF in the printer profile (Printer
properties, when you do "page setup" in LR):
https://www.breathingcolor.com/000_pfw_user_files/site_uploaded/2/Paul_BC/NoColorAdjustment545.jpg
2. On the RHS panel, in Print Module, uner "Print Job" -> Color
Management, you have the correct paper profile chosen (Not "managed by
printer").
The intent should be "relative".
3. In "Develop" module, check-mark "soft-proofing" at the bottom of the
photo, and then choose the correct paper profile and "relative" intent.
"Simulate paper and ink" -> Check.
This should allow you to see how your photo will look on a particular type
of paper.
For me, this last (3) step was very important, as the appearance on
some paper, especially more "generic" (less bright), - was darker then
what I've been seeing on the screen.
The soft proofing in LR has decreased the gap in the darkness drastically.
I still think that the prints are slightly darker, and the degree of
discrepancy depends on the paper.
HTH,
Igor

I have purchased a new in box Spyderpro 3 as it will work with 10.6.8,
supposedly. I am having trouble matching the brightness on my iMac
21.5" screen to the print outs from my Epson 2400. The prints are
coming out quite a bit darker than what i see on my screen via LR
version 4.1. Should this help with my woes or will it just help with
the colours. This one has the ambient reciver.
