Abstract
The printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a reading unit configured to read, in a case of detecting a mounting position at which a mounting state of a printing material cartridge has changed from non-mounting to mounting, by performing polling for a plurality of printing material cartridges, color information from the printing material cartridge mounted at the detected mounting position, and a notification unit configured to notify, in a case where the printing material color indicated by the color information is different from the printing material color corresponding to the detected mounting position, a user that the printing material cartridge is mounted incorrectly. The reading unit omits processing to read color information from the printing material cartridge mounted at the detected mounting position in a case where the mounting state of the printing material cartridge mounted at the detected mounting position is maintained as mounting.
