I'd print the attached test pdf file and also take it to a local Shipping/Office print shop (e.g. FedEx Kinkos) and have them print one for comparison. If the "pro" print looks like my home print, the home printer can be ruled out.
Then, I'd adjust the monitor to look like the test prints as well as I can, so that what I see is closer to what I get.
