1. A printing system comprising:
- an image pickup apparatus that has a non-contact ID tag permitting non-contact reading and transmits image data which is picked up by an image pickup unit and recorded on a recording medium, by a different communication method from that for the non-contact ID tag; and
a printing apparatus including a reading unit for reading ID information identifying the image pickup apparatus from the non-contact ID tag of the image pickup apparatus, an image receiving unit for receiving image data transmitted by the image pickup apparatus, a printing unit for printing an image based on the image data received by the image receiving unit, an output unit for outputting printings generated by the printing unit, a retaining unit for retaining the ID information identifying the image pickup apparatus that transmits the image data so that the ID information is associated with printings generated by the printing unit, and a control unit for performing an approval on the basis of ID information newly read by said reading unit from the non-contact ID tag of the image pickup apparatus and the ID information retained by said retaining unit in response to the ID information being newly read by said reading unit from the non-contact ID tag of the image pickup apparatus after said printing unit generates the printings and for controlling the output unit on the basis of the ID information retained by the retaining unit so as to output the printings printed based on the image data transmitted from the image pickup apparatus identified by the approved ID information.
