Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a printer having a first processor and a printing unit. A registration device is connected to the printer. The registration device includes a second processor and has a printer driver. The printer stores a control program that when executed by the first processor causes the printer to request the printer driver to cause the printer to request first maintenance information of the registration device from the printer driver. The printer, under control of the control program, acquires second maintenance information, which represents maintenance information of the printer, and outputs at least one of the first and second maintenance information.
