A method for controlling a printing system adapted to perform an adjustment operation with an adjusting unit includes storing information indicating a timing for performing the adjustment operation in a storage unit, causing the adjusting unit to perform the adjustment operation based on the information indicating the timing for performing the adjustment operation stored in the storage unit, causing the adjusting unit to perform the adjustment operation at a timing different from the timing indicated by the information in response to a print interruption occurring in the printing system if a previous adjustment operation has not been performed within a predetermined period of time, and updating the information indicating the timing for performing the adjustment operation stored in the storage unit in response to the adjusting unit performing the adjustment operation to delay a timing for performing a next adjustment operation with the adjusting unit.
