Is this just a matter of calibrating my monitor (which I'm never able to do successfully) or something else?

BTW, the original file is RAW, so I can make any adjustments I need to that.
The differences in how your monitor and your printer present the colors are definitely a matter of calibration. However, as far as I'm concerned, the bigger problem with the photo is its white balance. I would try playing around with decreasing the color temperature.
