A printing apparatus includes: a main body; a cover; a pair of supporters including a movable supporter; a first urging member configured to urge the movable supporter in an approach direction; an engaging member movable between a separated position and an engaged position; and a second urging member configured to urge the engaging member toward the engaged position. When the cover is in an open state, the engaging member is located at the engaged position by an urging force of the second urging member so as to inhibit movement of the movable supporter in the approach direction. When the cover is in a closed state, the engaging member is located at the separated position against the urging force of the second urging member by contact of the cover with the engaging member so as not to inhibit the movement of the movable supporter in the approach direction.
