Your pictures are perfectly exposed... so don't worry about the exposure... the problem is as mentioned, the LCD screen is very very very much brighter than what can be printed. So the print looks very muted. Don't be too concerned about pushing up the levels in Photoshop. Do a trial and error print test. Push the exposure, maybe add to 20% brightness. Print a photo. Check if the print looks like what you see (in terms of brightness). For my new LCD monitor, due to the extremely bright screen (calibrated but still super bright) I have to push the exposure until it looks washed out on my screen then the print looks ok in terms of brightness... Then remember how much you need to push the exposure each time you print, and you will always get a good print.
