I have a TR8620a Canon printer. From day one the power cord keeps falling out. My daughter has the same kind of printer and I tried her power cord on my printer, but that one fell out too. It works fine on her printer. How can I fix this?

Does the cord insert far enough to power the printer up? 

[gojeffie]

Yes. I have tape holding it in place so I can use the printer. But if the printer get moved at all the cord tends to fall out. I then need to play with the tape again in order to get it in place again so that it will turn on. Very frustrating!

Usually you have to push the plug a bit to get it to plug into the printer. I suspect your printer is missing a plastic insert that is inside the plug recess. This insert holds the cable snug.. I would try wrapping a stripe of tape around the end of the plug, make it a bit larger so it fits tighter into the socket.
