Why does my canon pixmar IP4200 keep saying two

Maybe one ink chip is faulty. Try to remove one and leave in the other (do the same for each one) to see if printer says something different. Otherwise your ink sensor could be broken.

Ink leak?

It's not the cartridges, the waste ink is coming up thru the bottom to the exit rollers. The only fix is to have a shop open it up, clean up the ink mess and install a shield that stops the ink from coming back up when it should go to the absorbers. The new machines all have this shield and the ink tube cut back to make the ink go where it should.

Every fifth line has a white streak through the

I would try using something like rubber renew on the pickup rollers and make sure that the paper is being fed correctly. If this is happening then start looking at the ink.

Open the printer and remove the ink. Clean around the ink carriage and the under the ink with alcohol and a cotton swab. Pay special attention to areas with copper contacts. Some printers will let you re-run a cleaning utility from their system menu or the computer printer properties. Keep in mind too that some printers will not print correctly, even with full ink, if the exact type of ink it expects you to have is not installed. If all else fails change out the ink, but double check that the ink is correct against the manual or written instructions inside the printer. Not every cartridge that fits the printer necessarily is the right type and using the wrong ink can cause unexpected results.

When printing I get a black strip down the reverse side of the page

That's from ink backing up from the ink absorbers. It doesn't go where it should and comes up on the exit rollers. The only fix is to open it up clean the ink mess and install a mylar shield that will keep that from happening again. An hour and a half shop repair...

Black Line down middle

The line is from ink coming up from the absorber pads on the bottom. It needs a good cleaning and a mylar sheet to keep the ink from coming up onto the rollers. A shop repair.
