11. A method of controlling a printing apparatus,
the printing apparatus including:
a mount unit configured to be able to mount a consumable; and
a communication unit configured to be able to communicate with a server system configured to provide a predetermined service,
the method comprising:
requesting, to the server system via the communication unit, service-related information related to the consumable mounted on the mount unit;
receiving, via the communication unit, the service-related information transmitted from the server system with respect to the request by the request unit; and
determining, in a case in which a state of the communication unit has shifted from a first state in which communication with the server system is disabled to a second state in which communication with the server system is enabled, whether a request for the service-related information by the requesting is required, based on a reception history of the service-related information of the receiving.
