Default Enhancing contrast - help and advice appreciated

I am a first timer trying to print from B&W negatives using a colour enlarger and I am finding that the contrast is typically quite poor. Please can you advise on the correct settings for each of the filters – I have set everything to zero, except magenta which is at maximum (I thought this would provide maximum contrast) but results pretty undramatic.

I would be hugely grateful if someone could advise me of the settings I should try, giving precise number values for each dial.
