I haven't read all posts in this thread, so apologies of repeating thing:
A lot of discrepancy in colour matching between screen and print has to do with the RGB to CMYK conversion. This is especially noticeable if you've enhanced the colours in the Green/Blue space onscreen (The more vivid you make the green/blue tones, the more trouble the printer has matching those tones, often resulting in the tones looking more pink or yellow). The problem is there is no true green or blue ink in printers. Only cyan, magenta, yellow and black. And while magenta and yellow can mix well to create true red, orange and yellow tones, there are no two ink colours that will produce a vivid blue tone. Cyan is the closest thing to blue, but it already contains yellow.
The "cheat" is to convert your RGB image to a CMYK image onscreen if possible (you can do it in Photoshop) and enhance it from there. Colours will adjust within the boundaries of CMYK gamuts, so the screen will show a more accurate representation of how the print will look. Once you've finished editing, convert it back to RGB.
If you can't convert between CMYK and RGB, then see if your program has a gamut-warning setting. This will let you know if your enhancements have pulled the colours past the CMYK gamut as you edit.
