Error Code B500

[Auntyem]

My MG5600 Pixma printer stopped printing and I got the error code B500 - Call Service Center.  I called 1-800-652-2666 and I could not get hold of a live person.  I got switched around and I got confused.  All that led to this forum, which makes me think they just want us to help each other find an answer to our problem or just order a new replacement from their store which I had to do once one year after I bought it.  What have others experienced?
