You can change the printer setting on your preference. It will be trial and error though. I advice to do some trial printing using different settings. You should also be careful on what kind of photo paper you will use. Try using this one:

Hi,
I don't have the same printer as you, but I've printed a lot of photos on our inkjet, so I kind of know a few tricks.
If you're printing on normal paper, and using normal settings, then I'm not sure what the problem is. See if there is a control panel, or calibration tool talked about in your printer's manual.
Otherwise: selecting "photograph" print settings often makes the printer push out TONS of ink, making even photographic paper too dark. Try printing with normal settings, on photographic paper.
Get a single piece of paper, and a graphics program, and mark out segments of an A4 page in the program. Used different print-settings on each segment, running the paper through again each time (make sure you don't bend it, and don't reprint an area) that will show you which settings work best.
Hope one of those things works.

-K
