Printing apparatus capable of performing direct wireless communication, method for controlling printing apparatus, and storage medium

A method for a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing printing processing;
• setting a permitted port number based on user's designation;
• determining, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data, whether a port number used when the print data is received corresponds to the set permitted port number;
• permitting performing printing processing based on the print data in a case where it is determined that the port number used when the print data is received corresponds to the set permitted port number;
• and
• prohibiting performing printing processing based on the print data in a case where it is determined that the port number used when the print data is received does not correspond to the set permitted port number,
• wherein the printing apparatus is able to perform a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus,
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via a wired LAN I/F, performing printing processing based on the print data is permitted or prohibited, according to a result of the determining, and
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data from the external apparatus via the direct wireless communication, performing printing processing based on the print data is permitted regardless of a result of the determining.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing printing processing;
• setting a permitted port number based on user's designation;
• determining, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data, whether a port number used when the print data is received corresponds to the set permitted port number;
• permitting performing printing processing based on the print data in a case where it is determined that the port number used when the print data is received corresponds to the set permitted port number;
• and
• prohibiting performing printing processing based on the print data in a case where it is determined that the port number used when the print data is received does not correspond to the set permitted port number,
• wherein the printing apparatus is able to perform a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus,
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via a wired LAN I/F, performing printing processing based on the print data is permitted or prohibited, according to a result of the determining, and
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data from the external apparatus via the direct wireless communication, performing printing processing based on the print data is permitted regardless of a result of the determining.

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a processor coupled to a memory;
• a printing unit configured to perform printing processing;
• and
• a determining unit configured to determine, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data, whether to permit performing printing processing based on the print data, based on a port number used when the print data is received,
• wherein the printing apparatus is able to perform a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus,
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via a wired LAN I/F, the determining unit determines whether to permit performing the printing processing, based on a first port condition indicating a port number with which performing of the printing processing is permitted,
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via the direct wireless communication, the determining unit determines whether to permit performing the printing processing, based on a second port condition indicating a port number with which performing of the printing processing is permitted, and
• wherein the determining unit is implemented by the processor.

A method for a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing printing processing;
• and
• determining, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data, whether to permit performing printing processing based on the print data, based on a port number used when the print data is received,
• wherein the printing apparatus is able to perform a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus,
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via a wired LAN I/F, determining includes determining whether to permit performing the printing processing, based on a first port condition indicating a port number with which performing of the printing processing is permitted, and
• wherein, in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data via the direct wireless communication, determining includes determining whether to permit performing the printing processing, based on a second port condition indicating a port number with which performing of the printing processing is permitted.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing printing processing;
