As for flushing only one ink, if they allowed us to do that, think 
of all the money they'd lose! The only way to flush only one line is 
to release the head, take the cover off, remove the plastic bar that 
holds down the dampers, and pop the damper/inkline of the nipple. 
From there you can put a windex refilled flush cart in, and using a 
syringe with an MIS bottom-fill adapter, gently pull through enough 
windex to verify that all the color is gone. Replace the ink cart, 
pull ink into the damper. If you want to, you can also put a short 
piece of plastic tubing on the syringe and flush the head as well. A 
good trick to know if you ever get a really intractable clog. Of 
course, you want to get some paper towels under the head and ink 
lines before you go sqirting messy liquids around. I know this all 
sound radical, but it works, and is not very difficult I'm a 
cheapskate, this is how I change my inks in my 7500! And I'm about 
to figure out how to do it in my 7600 as well..

Best of luck, keep us posted
