Will the print colours be like what I see on my computer screen?

Cypher Digital Imaging: Giclée Fine Art - Frequently ...
No... The image you see on your screen is made up of RGB colours and your screen is in effect a big lightbulb so what you see is called additive colour. As paper cannot be lit up, the ink colours do not have the benefit of light enhancing them and making them brighter, this is commonly called subtractive colour. We calibrate our printers so we get the best colour range possible. Many cameras also tend to show a colour cast ie slightly yellow, or blue for instance.
