Method for controlling the printing apparatus, a control program and a printing device of the printing device

Multiple ports that receive print jobs are logically set in a printing apparatus, and attributes used for specifying printing settings are assigned to at least one of these multiple ports. When a print job is received, the printing apparatus refers to attributes of the port that received the print job, and processes the print job based on these attributes. As a result, a printing apparatus is provided in which the burden of configuring various settings pertaining to print jobs, such as the printer settings that govern the printer driver, is reduced.
