just try lifting the exposure in a paint program, but save a copy of original first,the n you can keep increasing exposure on the pic a little at a time to get the right printout.

You see a print with reflected light, no so with a monitor where you see an inherently brighter looking image. Print-too-dark seems to be a constant problem among Hoggers. One practice was to adjust the exposure on the file to get the effect you want in the print.

You cannot calibrate a monitor via software; you have to use a hardware device. That being said,what paper are you printing with in your Epson? I had horrible results with an Epson photo printer for B&W until I sued Ilford paper.
Another reason to switch to a Canon Pro-100 when the Epson print head died.

The black and white photo has a lot of dark values. What you see on your monitor is different than what comes out on paper. I have a little experience with this issue and I think it's kinda like getting that one nice photo out of the 100 shots you just took! I entered a couple of photos, being printed fairly large (10" x 23") to be shown at a local Art Co-op and had the same issue. Fortunately I was able to go in and work with the guy doing the printing and we tweaked and massaged the photo to get it to print well.
Salvage Diver said it all pretty well.
