No, the 5B00 error does not necessarily mean your Canon MP250 is permanently broken. It's a protective measure indicating the waste ink absorber is full. The printer can often be brought back to functionality by resetting the ink counter or physically addressing the waste ink pad, though the latter is a more involved process.
