Zusammenfassung:An image processing apparatus is provided that can not only print using an apparatus with a low power consumption of a plurality of image forming apparatuses but also can cause the user to promote the ecology. The image processing apparatus (an image forming apparatus or a PC) connected to a plurality of external image forming apparatuses through a network includes a startup state detecting portion that detects a startup state of each of the external image forming apparatuses, an apparatus selecting portion that selects, as a candidate apparatus to execute printing of an inputted image, an apparatus that can print with a low power consumption based on the startup state detected by the startup state detecting portion, from the external image forming apparatuses; and an apparatus presenting portion that presents to a user whether the candidate apparatus selected by the apparatus selecting portion is used, being selectable by the user.
