Abstract
An image processing system including a processing execution control device, a plurality of image formation output control devices, and an output destination determiner is provided. The processing execution control device includes a processing execution controller and a control-side drawing information generator to generate drawing information. Each of the image formation output control devices includes an output-side drawing information generator to generate the drawing information and an execution controller to control image forming devices to execute an image formation output based on the drawing information. The output destination determiner determines one of the image formation output control devices as an output destination of an image formation output execution command based on execution propriety of the image formation output that is determined by comparing an amount of developer to be consumed in the image formation output with an amount of developer remaining in each of the image forming devices.
