Canon iX4000 printer

I've just set this new printer up at home, tried it out and found that the prints, though good and nice and crisp, are definitely 'warmer' than I would like.
I am going to do some prints for a local (Highland and Islands) competition soon and wondered if any of you know of and could tell me a good print set-up to get more accurate colour. I can print from Adobe PSE5 if necessary.

i don't use Elements regularly so am not sure to what extent you can adjust its color profiling. you can normally select a color profile space to both an image and a print output if you are printing a photograph you should probably use Adobe RGB 1998 across the board as your camera, image editing software and printer will all have the ability to use that color space as a default. do not print an image that is in sRGB as this color space is intended for screen representation only and will not match it's screen appearance on print. the 4000 is quite a decent printer so you may also want to consider acquiring some cheap calibration hardware to profile your printer to your monitor if you still cant get a good match.
