To do it properly, you need a calibration tool (Spyder, Pantone Huey etc). I have the Huey and its a neat piece of kit. As I do all my processing from RAW it's vital as I don't want to have to re-do them ever again. Downside with the Huey is you can't calibrate the printer as well, it was also £89, although for me it was worth it. There are online ways of doing it, but these merely change contrast and brightness and don't tackly colour issues too well.
As for printers, ask anyone in a camera club and there will be only one answer, the Epson 2400. But at £500 it's not cheap. I have the Canon Pixma ip4500. It is the A-lister in PC Pro mag. It's pretty damn impressive, but at times I find it difficult to get really good green out of it, but I've been told this is a problem to do with the colour space I have Adobe Lightroom set to (Adobe RGB I think).
