Color cast

I have an image of a leopard taken in early morning shade, Mala Mala, SA. Of course it has a color cast on the cool side. I've done color correction in PS, white balance, etc and it looks good on the screen reference color balance, what I see on the screen is what I saw there. But... no matter how I print it, there is a green color cast. I've printed it with PS control and with Canon printer in control on Canon paper, same results. I was told to "twink" it a little bit, same results. I just previewed this post and the image shown is what I see on the screen prior to printing. So I've taken a photo of my printing results. What am I not doing or doing wrong. Well I've attached a lot of photos but the attachment feature isn't working today.

Still trying to attach a photo of the bad image.
Nope, can't attach today, tried it on two different computers, and I've attached a lot of pictures before now.

Does your monitor need to be adjusted? You may have it set so it is warmer than the actual data presented to it and that will be a mismatch to the printer that does not adjust for warmth. The color temperature of the monitor I use is set to 5000K.

Look into the Spider 5 Pro.

I feel it is just the thing for your problem.

It took care of all my problems.

Yes, I use the Spider but not the pro. Thanks.
