ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus is provided in which confidential prints are kept secret from each other even when congested by passwords for a plurality of confidential prints being entered in succession. Pointers are provided at the respective ends of a confidential print job queue and a normal print job queue in a queue management unit16. New print jobs are stored into the corresponding ends. When a user enters a valid password for a confidential print job A from an input unit19, a control unit11releases the hold status of the confidential print job A. The control unit11also refers to the end pointer for confidential print jobs and moves the confidential print job A to the end of the confidential print jobs. When a normal print job a is completed, the control unit11skips held confidential print jobs B and D, and processes the confidential print job A which is the first released of the hold status. Then, a normal print job b1is executed so that no confidential print job follows immediately.
