Hi

I´d like to improve my skills in colour control. When I print an Adobe Illustrator document, set up with CMYK, I get a very different colour on the paper from the one I see on my screen. 

I have HP Office Jet Pro 9020. 

I know this is a science - but where to start? Any helpful suggestions?

There is no colour control on Officejet printers ( if you mean ICC profiles), the colour is managed by the printer, nothing to change. More advanced printers have that option, but not low-end officejets.

Thanks, Valsimot - I guess one thing I could do, was to make some colour-tables with a selection of preferred coulours and then have them printed out. Of course it will only give a hint, since there are so many colours possible, but then again I don´t see any other steps to take?
