Error code 5B00 on a Canon Pixma printer typically indicates a paper jam or an issue with the paper feed mechanism, even if you don't see visible paper stuck. First, power off the printer and carefully inspect the paper path – the input tray, inside the printer, and the output tray. Remove any torn pieces of paper. Then, clean the paper feed rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water. Finally, restart the printer. If the error persists, the paper feed roller assembly may be faulty and require professional repair or replacement.
