Disclosed is a printing apparatus capable of quickly performing the first printing while managing print requests. More specifically, a print request is received from an external device (S 1301 ), and the received print request is registered in a register (S 1304 , S 1308 ). Upon reception of the print request, the presence/absence of a print request which is registered in the register is determined (S 1302 ). Print data is requested of the external device (S 1306 , S 1307 ). The process order of print requests registered in the register is controlled (S 1305 ). If it is determined in a determining step (S 1302 ) that no print request is registered in the register, a print data request step (S 1307 ) is performed before a registration step (S 1308 ). If it is determined in the determining step (S 1302 ) that a print request is registered in the register, the print data request step (S 1306 ) is performed after the registration step (S 1304 ).
