It's a Canon i560, Scott. 
Bene, have you checked for all the obvious things? Power cord connected to printer and the wall outlet? Do you get any sort of warning light or sound of any sort? Perhaps the power button is worn and takes more pressure to switch on.

I have a Canon i560. The power cord works. Everything works on the printer except when I sent it to print it shows printer not on line. I know they are cheap to buy but I have so much ink on hand I will try & fix it my self before giving up. Some on line research suggests that the print head needs to be cleaned and that is why I'm trying to remove it. At this point I have nothing to loose because it won't receive power from the cord. | |

No lights come on at all and I push the button really hard. Everything appears to be "dead" on the hardware. | |

Have you tried a manual reset?
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Hold down the resume button and press the rower button.
3. Keep holding down both buttons, then release the resume button.
4. While still holding the power button, press the resume button twice, then release both buttons
5. The green lights should flash.
6. When the green lights quit flashing, press the resume button four times.
7. Now press the power button. The printer should turn off. It not, press the power button again.
8. Wait a few seconds, turn on the printer, and hopefully it will start working again.

. I'd think that if the printer won't turn on, it's not a print head issue but something more. Printers of that caliber are so cheap, it's probably cheaper to get a new one than deal with repairs or replacing parts.
