A photographic processing apparatus having an exposing section for printing images of negative films on printing paper, a negative film outlet for discharging the negative films used in the exposing section, a developing section for developing the printing paper printed, and a print outlet for cutting the printing paper developed to predetermined lengths, and discharging the cut printing paper as prints, the negative films being discharged unit by unit from the negative film outlet and the prints having the images of the negative films in corresponding units being discharged unit by unit from the print outlet, the negative films and prints being combined and collated as finished products, said apparatus comprising:

• trouble identifying means for identifying a process disrupting trouble occurring during a process of printing images of a negative film on the printing paper;
• error information link means for linking error information on said process disrupting trouble identified by said trouble identifying means to an ID code of said negative film having caused said process disrupting trouble;
• and
• printing means for writing said error information in a region of said printing paper for printing an image of said negative film responsible for said process disrupting trouble.
