Printing apparatus having wireless direct communication function and method of controlling the printing apparatus

A printing apparatus having a reservation function for reserving a print job received from an external apparatus without executing the received print job until receiving a print instruction from a user, comprising:

• a memory that stores a program;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the program to:
• receive packet data of the print job transmitted from the external apparatus by using a wireless direct communication function or another communication function different from the wireless direct communication function;
• determine, based on address information included in the received packet data, whether the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function;
• reserve the print job in a storage unit by the reservation function, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the another communication function;
• and
• execute the received print job without reserving the print job, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function.

A method of controlling a printing apparatus having a reservation function for reserving a print job received from an external apparatus without executing the received print job until receiving a print instruction from a user, the method comprising:

• receiving packet data of the print job transmitted from the external apparatus by using a wireless direct communication function or another communication function different from the wireless direct communication function;
• determining, based on address information included in the received packet data, whether the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function;
• reserving the print job in a storage unit by the reservation function, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the another communication function;
• and
• executing the received print job without reserving the print job, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a printing apparatus having a reservation function for reserving a print job received from an external apparatus without executing the received print job until receiving a print instruction from a user to:

• receive packet data of the print job transmitted from the external apparatus by using a wireless direct communication function or another communication function different from the wireless direct communication function;
• determine, based on address information included in the received packet data, whether the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function;
• reserve the print job in a storage unit by the reservation function, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the another communication function;
• and
• execute the received print job without reserving the print job, in a case where it is determined that the packet data of the print job is received by using the wireless direct communication function.
