I always print from PS anyway, as I've got all the profiles for paper and printer set up. If the monitor is calibrated, shouldn't the images look the same? I'm using the Adobe (1998) option.

In NX there is also the 'Soft Proof on/off' at the bottom of the image window that gives better print preview assuming again that printer and paper are correctly set in preferences. I find this incredibly more accurate than anything in PSE4. One of the reasons I only use the latter as last resort is the apalling preview quality (mac powerbook G4). I do wonder whether this just applies to Elements or the real thing.
Another option if you also have access to a Canon usersource is to use DPP for cloning at which it is excellent (and printing, where its preview and layout is again excellent) and handles the tiff from NX and saves the clone in tiff with only a few extra kb instead of having massive .psd s around
