While holding the power button, plug the power cord back into the wall socket and wait until the printer initiates a reset procedure.

In general, the 5B00 error does not represent a major problem for your Canon G2000 printer or any other model, and will not cost a fortune to fix.

The reason behind the 5B00 error is either an improper ink cartridge being used or an issue with the waste ink counter.
