Printing apparatus, control method for printing apparatus, and information processing apparatus

A control method for a printing apparatus capable of communicating via a wired interface and a wireless interface with a terminal device that can transmit a job for execution of an operation and capable of operating by power supplied by the terminal device connected via the wired interface, the control method comprising:

• a determination step for determining whether or not the operation based on the job can be executed, based on a power supply capacity of the terminal device connected via the wired interface;
• a connection control step for connecting to the terminal device via the wireless interface for communication in a case where it is determined in the determination step that the operation based on the job cannot be executed;
• and
• a notification control step for providing a notification that prompts improving the power supply capacity for the printing apparatus in a case where it is determined in the determination step that the operation based on the job cannot be executed.

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a printing apparatus via a wired interface and a wireless interface, capable of supplying power to the printing apparatus connected via the wired interface, and capable of transmitting a job for execution of an operation to the printing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a detection unit configured to be capable of detecting an amount of power stored in a storage unit;
• a connection control unit configured to connect to the printing apparatus via the wireless interface for communication in a case where the amount of stored power detected by the detection unit falls below a threshold value;
• and
• a notification control unit configured to provide a notification that prompts ensuring a power supply capacity for the printing apparatus and prompts charging the information processing apparatus in a case where the amount of stored power detected by the detection unit falls below the threshold value.
