I'm using PSP 7 and an Epson 1280 printer.  Also using PS Elements and the
same printer.

When I import a JPG from my camera and print it using PSP 7, I do not get
the same colors as I do when I perform the same steps using PS Elements.

PS Elements nails the color perfectly; PSP 7 seems dark and heavy by
comparison.

Help and suggestions, please?

Thanks,

PSP uses Windows color management. A good place to start with
setting up both is http://campratty.com/1faq/faqpages/b9a.html.
Write back if that does not do it.

That's because Photoshop Elements was written by experts, while Paint Shop 
Pro was written by amateurs.

Last color matching thread here lasted two weeks!

I use the same rig. Had to spend some time in PSP's color management, 
and now all is well.
