How do you color calibrate a PC monitor (Dell P1100 or P991) to match the output on the HP plotter/printer. In other words what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG).

Check to see if the driver for your monitor or video card added a color management tab to advanced display settings.

If so, print out a picture of a color bar chart.
While holding the color chart next to the monitor, adjust the color management settings such that the colors displayed on the monitor match the printout.

There may also be on an option in your printer properties to adjust color settings.

Finally, many graphics programs also have color management settings that you can adjust to fit your needs.

I suspect that this is either covered in the HP printer manual, or on there web site.
