Abstract
A needed job is quickly performed even if a recovery operation for a print head performed by a recovery mechanism needs a long time as a result of sharing of the same drive source between a discharge roller and the recovery mechanism. To achieve this, a recovery operation for the print head is suspended when a print job is received while the recovery operation is being performed, on a condition that a printing apparatus is in a state where the printing apparatus permits the print job to be performed.
