This would depend on where you are printing to. Are you printing 4 color? Or are you going to inkjet? This makes some difference... basically though you would set you monitor profile to your specifications and it shouldn't really make much of a difference. Are you having trouble? And what is it doing?

Mind you though there is always going to be somewhat of a difference

is there some kinds of settings should b made 4 the monitor to reduce the difference between the monitor and the printed paper?

Like I said, you are going to have to open your monitor options and create a profile. That will set your monitor to the best it can be set at according to your eyes. This is all I can say, hence you have discovered one of the biggest problems with print. A good monitor is key with a printer that has excellent color. If you don't, well you can expect unwanted results.

Your printer is not RGB. So you CANNOT print in the colours you see on the screen if your profile is RGB. Rgb is out of gamut for your printer.

In the "STYLE" dropdown below the picture you posted, select "Optimized for Desktop Printing" or "Optimized for Professional output"

It will seem to change all the colours on your document, but really it's not. It's just showing how it will print.

You will have to readjust the colours on your document using CMYK (because your printer is CMYK) to closer match what it looked like in RGB. Hopefully you can get close, but no guarantees. RGB colours are made of light, not ink, so they get much much brighter.

Keep your profile this way when you build anything except web graphics or CD-Rom graphics.

>>Your printer is not RGB. So you CANNOT print in the colours you see on the screen if your profile is RGB<<

One rare loophole: slide recorders and/or many large photo output devices. But for the bulk of the time, you're right-- you want to match colours, you have to squeeze what you can of the RGB gamut into the target CMYK space when calibrating your screen.
