Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I need help with my new Laser Printer. I want to print the best quality this printer can do. 
I needed to change the driver to PostScript and that helped a lot with better sharpness but I would like to have colors that are more true to what I see on my display. I am printing Re/Max brand colors - blue (003DA5) and red (DC1C2E). I have a business card from Re/Max and it is pretty close to the colors my display shows. But when I print it - it is pretty off... it is more bright. 

What I tried: I tried all options with sRGB, Vivid colors, etc... no help there
Maybe ICM settings would work but I have no idea how they work... I have ICM Disables and ICM intent set up for Pictures

To get proper match to colors you will likely need to calibrate the printer and your screen. This is done with a hardware density meter and software that creates a customer color profile for your printer driver. You can check support.hp.com to see if there are any custom profiles available. HP makes some models that are Pantone calibrated but typically in their Enterprise products not their Pro products.

Thank you for your answer. I don't need the printed color to be exactly like the screen but at least closer. If you look at Re/Max logo it has brand colors and my printer does not print it right. 

I am unable to upload the pictures:
Here are the links to google drive:

4. Copy center - commercial printer
