Good Day Atzkie!
The error 5B00 in Canon MX328 is a waste ink tank full. The printer detected the number of times that the cartridge has been refilled and counted the volume of the waste ink that flows out from the cartridge to the absorber pads.
You can clear the error on the printer using a MP reset tool. This tool will reset the counter for the waste ink tank.
