Windows Vista Photo Wizard Prints Horribly

I used Windows XP for a good 5 years and used some basic freeware for
printing photos (Corellis and HP) on my Epson Stylus. They printed out
beautifully. I recently replaced my old PC with a new Dell running Vista
Home premium. When I use Vista's Photo Wizard to print a photo, the image on
the print preview looks great, but the printed image of my son makes him look
like a renaissance painting of the Madonna because he has this glowing halo
all around his head. Why won't this wizard print what it displays? Is there
a way to make the Vista Wizard behave, or should I purchase or download some
cheap software that actually works?
