Nothing to do with Vista, its a feature of your printer cartridges that have
a chip in them to identify a none makers cartridge.
Either buy original cartridges or ones guaranteed to be compliant.
Or do a google search for a fix

Hello all,
I use LEXMARK 5650 and VISTA HOME BASIC 32 bit. After replacement of
colour ink cartridge (clone of course...) ink level indicator - ruler -
appears with a big questionary mark on it. Also, when I press setup
button on the printer and go to ink level settings I see questionary
mark "?". (For black ink I get a number, like 32%...). What can I do,
e.g. how to tell the system/driver that colour cartridge is FULL and how
to get rid of that questionary mark ?
Please, advise.
