PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image processor, etc., which can suppress increase in the amount of data and increase in processing time even when many pieces of drawing information are outputted from application software to a printer driver. ;SOLUTION: On the image processor 110, a drawing information analysis part 113 judges whether or not image data included in respective pieces of drawing information inputted from an image data generation part 111 to a drawing information input part 112 can be combined with one another. A drawing information combination part 115 generates new image data by combining image data in pieces of drawing information judged to be able to be combined with one another and generates a new drawing command to the new image data. The new generated image data are compressed by an image compression part 116 and sent from a drawing information transmission part 118 to an image forming device 120 together with the new command.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
