I have a Canon IP5000 and the ink absorber is full and now the Power is completely OUT. When I push the power button nothing happens. I have tried unplugging and holding down the power button and plug the AC cord back in but Nothing. Help!

Thank you so much Jonathon Anonomyous, I have searched and searched for a fix for my Canon MP 180 printer, and yours worked. I did get at the waste ink tank first and cleaned up the ink. I thought I'd have to buy a new printer. I know a couple of years have passed since you posted, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Annie
