Hello. It is unfortunate, but modern printers are designed to be "throw away" when they break, and you may be faced with that situation. A few things to check: make sure the connections at both ends (wall outlet and printer) are tight. Make sure the cover is closed properly, since there is a power interlock built in. If this is a printer model with a separate power supply (i.e., the cord from the wall goes to a separate PS box, then another cord goes to the printer) then make sure the PS connection is also tight. If it still doesn't work, it is most likely a faulty power supply. If you have the separate type, it MAY be possible to buy a new one. Otherwise, you are probably looking at replacing the printer. Sorry that I can't give you better news.
