1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a controller including a processor and a memory, the controller being configured to provide at least one setting screen including a plurality of setting items,
wherein the plurality of setting items include:
a first setting item for setting, based on a first user instruction, whether or not to enable a first setting related to first type software that uses Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and Multicast DNS (mDNS), and
a second setting item for setting, based on a second user instruction, whether or not to enable a second setting related to second type software that uses the IPP and the mDNS,
wherein, whether or not to enable the first setting related to the first type software and whether or not to enable the second setting related to the second type software, which are set based on the first and second user instructions on the at least one setting screen, are applied to the controller,
wherein, in a case where the first setting not to be enabled is applied to the controller, the controller does not respond to a search packet which is transmitted by using the mDNS from the first type software even in a situation where the controller is in a state of executing communication using the mDNS, and
wherein, in a case where the second setting not to be enabled is applied to the controller, the controller does not respond to a search packet which is transmitted by using the mDNS from the second type software even in a situation where the controller is in a state of executing communication using the mDNS.
