Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a print unit including a carriage capable of loading a plurality of types of print heads, and configured to print an image by causing the carriage to scan a printing sheet, and a service providing unit to provide a host device with an identifier for a user to identify the printing apparatus and a printing service corresponding to the identifier. When the print head loaded on the carriage corresponds to a first head configuration, the host device is provided with a first identifier to identify the printing apparatus with a first identification name. When a second print head configuration is loaded on the carriage, the service providing unit provides the host device with a second identifier different from the first identifier to identify the printing apparatus with a second identification name which is different from the first identification name.
