Every time I go to use my printer it won't connect or even turn on. The only thing I have found that has worked is unplugging it for thirty seconds then plugging it back in. Though it works, it is really frustrating because I seem to have to repeat the process every day and every time after it goes to sleep. When it is plugged in, the light in the back next to the plug is on and the outlet is working, the printer just won't turn on when I press the power button. The same thing happens from other computers too. Any ideas?

This could be an issue with the power button. Is the power button damaged?
