Which one did you get? Details please. I'm going to be printing some
things out for the holidays and this is my biggest problem. I'm even
resigned to attacking the problem with $$$ but have no idea where to
begin

Yes, I feel your pain. I lost much hair because of "color management." I don't know why it has to be so complicated. First, make sure your monitor is calibrated. I use a Spyder with Proof It!. It is automated except there is a step where you have to make manual adjustment of the brightness. The printer profiler I got is called ProfilerPlus!. You need Photoshop and a flatbed scanner to use it. There is a trick that you should make sure your scanned calibration target has the right spread of histogram, this web page explains: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/epson_scan/epsonscan_1.htm. It's for an Epson scanner but I think the idea is the same regardless.
