A print head cleaning cycle uses the printer's internal mechanisms to flush ink through the print head nozzles, attempting to dislodge clogs. A power cycle reset (turning the printer off and on) simply clears the printer's temporary memory and resets its internal state. They address different potential issues – clogging versus temporary glitches.
