A printing apparatus comprising: a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet; a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet fed by said feeding roller; a printing unit configured to print on the printing sheet conveyed by said conveyance roller; a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so as to form an overlap state in which a trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed by said feeding roller and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed by said feeding roller overlap each other; and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing said printing unit while keeping the overlap state or to convey the succeeding sheet to the position facing said printing unit after the overlap state has been cancelled, wherein if said determination unit determines to convey the succeeding sheet to the position facing said printing unit while keeping the overlap state, said conveyance control unit conveys the succeeding sheet to the position facing said printing unit after printing of the preceding sheet has ended.
