Abstract
A printing system according to the present invention, being capable of controlling a post-processing apparatus to execute post-processing for a sheet printed by a printing apparatus, has an acceptance unit and a control unit. The acceptance unit is configured to accept a post-processing execution request for executing post-processing by the post-processing apparatus without executing print processing by the printing apparatus. The control unit controls, in a case where the acceptance unit accepts the post-processing execution request, the post-processing apparatus to execute the post-processing for a sheet set in a supply source without executing print processing by the printing apparatus.
