Calibrate your Monitor with Adobe's GAMMA utility. (See manual for details)
Use Photoshop to Edit your image so the colors are correct to your eyes.
Then Print on Glossy Photo paper.
If the colors are not exactly to your liking, you can probably make the
necessary adjustments in the printer driver software.
I don't have a S800 but most modern inkjet printers provide a way of
letting you make minor adjustments in the color balance.

If you don't want to undergo a laborious color correction process, use Photo
Paper Pro. It's a tad high, but produces wonder results.

Sigh ... I've got 276 photos from a Disney trip I want printed twice. No
way am I going to put it through my S800 or CX5400.

Guess I'll have scout around for a printing service ...
