Hi Gary,
The answer is to "profile" your printer for the paper and ink that you're using. This basically means using a colour spectrometer to look at a large chart of colours from your printer, compare them to a known value and write a profile to correct the differences.
Obviously, you don't sound like time is on your side. So what you're left with is a take a best guess approach. Lighten the shot on screen by the amount that you think it's too dark and have a try. It can take lots of your paper and ink so working on as small a version as you can is a good idea.

The Epson printer software is very versatile and allows you to brighten an image if you need to, in the Color Management section of the set up screen, choose color controls and use the sliders below to adjust the image.
