printing bad color

Hi,

I am using Lightroom 5.7.1.  I calibrate my monitor monthly using spyder x elite.  When I print from the lightroom print module the color of my image is terrible and not even close to what I see on my monitor.  When I use the Canon Print Studio Pro plug in, the color on my image is good.  However, I don't always like/ or want to use the Canon Print Studio plug in as it does not allow me to print multiple images on the same sheet of paper.  So, why doesn't the print module in Lightroom print good color?  What am I missing.  This is causing great frustration for me.
