A hybrid printing apparatus and related control method have a first print section 1a composed of a plurality of printing machines located in parallel to one another, and a second print section 1b composed of one printing machine and connected to the first print section, via a print medium transfer section 1c having a transfer passage 31 composed of discrete passage components which include change-over rollers 32 to change over start/stop operations in transfer of print media and medium detection sensors 33 to detect leading edges of the print media discharged from the respective printing machines of the first print section 1a, respectively. A control section 1d controls timings at which the change-over rollers 32 are changed over, so as to sequentially transfer the printing media from the first section 1a to the second print section 1b in response to detection signals from the medium detection sensors 33.
