Question about the Apple store - UPDATE: Got it

So I'm going to be getting a MBP 13" with an 8 GB iPod touch and the $100 Canon MX320 printer. With the education deal I get the touch and printer for essentially free after rebate. I have an Apple store near me and would like to go there to get it so I can have it immediately.

I've been to this Apple store before and they have laptops and iPods, but I've never seen printers there. Can I get it there? Can I still get in on the deal even if they don't? In order to be eligible for the deal I think the printer has to be bought at the same time as the laptop, so if they don't have them there, is there a way to pay for it at the same time so I can take the laptop and ipod home right away and have the printer shipped to me and be eligible for the rebate?

Update:

Got the MBP 13" 2.26 stock. Also got an 8 GB iPod touch (currently looking to sell), and the MX320 printer.

I put an OCZ Summit 60 GB SSD in and am really happy with the results. One thing that surprised me is how freaking bright I can make the backlight on the screen. It almost hurts it gets so bright.
 
The printers are almost always located toward the back, between the genius bar and the front 4-6 tables. Assuming your Apple store is in a mall of course.
 
Got it just now, about to open it up and play with it 🙂

They didn't have printers anywhere on display, but they did have them in the stock room in back.

Congrats. I just got my MBP 13 yesterday. Digging it so far.

Just in case you didn't know, you're eligible for $9.95 (+ tax) Snow Leopard upgrade because you purchased a new Mac after June 8: http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/

 
Yep, I made sure to ask about Snow Leopard even though I was pretty sure it'd be $10.

The first thing I did with this computer though is to install the 60 GB OCZ Summit SSD. I won't need all the space as it's just for school. It's pretty nice so far. I've just been installing things for the most part and that's limited to the DVD speed, but I started up some iLife apps and they came up pretty quick. Safari was almost instant.
