A printing apparatus which communicates with a data providing apparatus includes a printing mechanism which executes a printing operation. The printing apparatus receives a number of print copies, and acquires print data from the data providing apparatus by executing a request processing of transmitting to the data providing apparatus a data request of the print data, and a reception processing of receiving the print data from the data providing apparatus. When executing a printing operation of N copies (N is an integer of 2 or larger), the acquiring executes, for each copy, the request processing and the reception processing to acquire the print data from the data providing apparatus while executing the request processing of the print data of M-th copy (M is an integer of 2 or larger and N or smaller) after the reception processing of the print data of (M−1)-th copy is completed. |
