setting up for printing questions

[DarkHorse]

Ok,
so im going to/or want to,
start sending my pictures out for printing,

ive got a 13" mackbook, and ive been disapointed when ive tweaked them in
Canon DPP and sent them out,,
they look like crap,

so im going to buy a Dell 2209WA and a spyder2

hook it up to my mackbook,,,

heres my question,,,
without going to collage

can someone direct me to a web-site or write a short blurb,
with a step by step process
of how to get everything
set up right,


so that in my canon DPP ill see what i get from the printers,,like bay photo,
or Mpix

im computer-challenged

thanks
john
