Abstract:
An printing apparatus capable of maintaining confidentiality of a printed matter more reliably. Where a confidential print command is received, when user identification information for a user who issued the confidential print command is read from a recording medium such as an IC card by a reader, the printing apparatus puts the execution of the print processing pertaining to the confidential print command on hold if print processing based on a command issued by a user other than the user who issued the confidential print command via operation of an operation unit is being executed, and it begins the execution of the print processing pertaining to the confidential print command if print processing based on a command issued by a user other than the user who issued said confidential print command via operation of the operation unit is not being executed.
