PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation device, an image formation system, a control method for the same and a program that allow processing load of the image formation device to be reduced and allow printing data retained in the image formation device to be printed from a desired image formation device.SOLUTION: An image formation device, which comprises: a first memory region for storing printing data in a descriptive language format; and a second memory region that expands the printing data in a descriptive language format to be stored in image data format, outputs the printing data stored in the second memory region to a printing portion if printing data having received a printing instruction are the printing data memorized by the image formation device, and requests an external image formation device memorizing the print data to obtain the printing data if the printing data are printing data not memorized by the image formation device. The image formation device, when receiving a request for obtaining printing data from the external image formation device, transmits the printing data stored at the first memory region to the external image formation device having requested for the obtainment. |
