I am having a real hard time getting photoshop and the moniter and my new printer to match colors. I might be over thinking and trying too hard. I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and windows 7 and the printer is a Canon PIXMA Pro 9000 Mark 2 with a 20" Dell lcd monitor. I do have photoshop set to working with CMYK. Can anybody recomend a tutorial or give me some help? Thanks everyone!

No tutorial needed, stop using CMYK when printing to your Pixma Pro 9000.
From Adobe: About desktop printing
Use View|Proof Setup|Custom|Device to Simulate enter the exact paper your using.
Be aware of the obscure codes Canon uses for their paper.
MP = Matte Photo Paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy
GL = Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
SG = Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss
In the print dialog box make sure Photoshop Manages Colors.
Make sure ALL printer enhancements or management features are disabled.
Let me know how you make out.
