    I know people who do this, they use a spectrophotometer and profiling software. You scan a test print, and you get a device that sticks onto your monitor, scanning the screen representation of the test print, then you print a test print and scan it and keep re-scanning and re-calibrating till your color environment workflow is fully calibrated.

    The issue is that the colorspace of your monitor is different from the colorspace of your printer is different from the colorspace of your printer. For example, your monitor may be able to show some colors your printer cannot print.

    Colormunki is one of these calibration methods, there are others, usually cheaper and not as good, or more expensive and complicated...
