This invention provides a printing apparatus which has an ink ejection head capable of forming an image at high resolution and still can reliably identify a location where an ink ejection error has occurred without using an expensive image reading device. This printing apparatus has a distance adjusting device to change a distance between the ink ejection head and the print medium, and a controller to set a plurality of different distances by controlling the distance adjusting device. The controller controls the distance adjusting device to selectively set either a first distance that produces a normal printed image having within a predetermined range a landing error on the print medium of ink droplets ejected from the print head or a second distance that produces a landing error greater than the predetermined range.
