Turns out I won’t be receiving the printer I ordered.

To Our Valued Apple Customer:

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store.

Apple no longer offers the CANON PIXMA IP6700D PHOTO PRINTER that you requested. Therefore, it has been removed from your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

You might find the product at an Apple reseller listed at <http://buy.apple.com>.

Sincerely,

Apple Store Customer Support

Two things strike me here. 1) Remove it from the storefront, howsabout. 2) I’m surprised they didn’t try to sell me a different model, beyond the lethargic “hey, you might try somewhere else…” line.

The latest Fedex tracking shows the delivery date slipping by a day, from Tuesday to Wednesday now. The waiting has become slightly less sweet.
