A printing apparatus and a printing control method. After an odd-numbered block designation signal to select an odd-numbered block among a plurality of blocks of the printhead is generated and outputted to the printhead, and an even-numbered block designation signal to select an even-numbered block is generated and outputted to the printhead, these signals are output-controlled such that drive to the odd-numbered block and drive to the even-numbered block are started alternately. On the other hand, when an odd-numbered block HB heat signal to drive HBs included in the odd-numbered block is generated and outputted to the printhead, and an even-numbered block HB heat signal to drive HBs included in the even-numbered block is generated and outputted to the printhead, these heat signals are output-controlled such that output of the even-numbered block HB heat signal is started prior to completion of output of the odd-numbered block HB heat signal.
