Printing apparatus, method, and printing system for preventing undesired cancellation of receipt of print job

A method implementable on a controller of a printing apparatus comprising a communication interface, a touch panel, and a memory, the method comprising:

• performing a storage printing process comprising:
• receiving a print job containing a user name via the communication interface;
• storing the received print job in the memory without performing printing based on the received print job;
• and
• performing printing based on the stored print job in accordance with an instruction input via the touch panel;
• when a cancel instruction to cancel the printing based on the stored print job has been input via the touch panel while the printing based on the stored print job is being performed in the storage printing process, canceling the printing based on the stored print job;
• and
• while a display included in the touch panel is displaying that the print job is being received, continuing the storage printing process, without canceling the receipt of the print job based on an input of a cancel instruction to cancel the receipt of the print job via the touch panel.

A printing system comprising:

• an information processing device;
• and
• a printing apparatus that comprises:
• a communication interface configured to perform communication with the information processing device;
• a touch panel including a display;
• a memory;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• perform a storage printing process comprising:
• receiving a print job containing a user name via the communication interface;
• storing the received print job in the memory without performing printing based on the received print job;
• and
• performing printing based on the stored print job in accordance with an instruction input via the touch panel;
• when a cancel instruction to cancel the printing based on the stored print job has been input via the touch panel while the printing based on the stored print job is being performed in the storage printing process, cancel the printing based on the stored print job;
• and
• while the display of the touch panel is displaying that the print job is being received, continue the storage printing process, without canceling the receipt of the print job based on an input of a cancel instruction to cancel the receipt of the print job via the touch panel.
