Image forming system, image forming apparatus, and computer readable medium

An image forming system comprising:

• a plurality of image forming apparatuses, each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses including:
• an authentication unit that receives an identification information of a user;
• a first storage unit that stores an image data associated with the identification information;
• a second storage unit that stores an information indicating the other image forming apparatuses in the system;
• a retrieval unit that accesses the other forming apparatuses in the system and retrieves image data from the other forming apparatuses;
• and
• an image forming unit that forms an image corresponding to the image data retrieved by the retrieval unit,
• wherein when the authentication unit of a first image forming apparatus which is among the plurality of image forming apparatuses in the system receives an identification information of a first user, the retrieval unit of the first image forming apparatus accesses the other image forming apparatuses in the system and retrieves a first image data which is associated with the identification information of the first user, and the image forming unit of the first image forming apparatus forms an image corresponding to the first image data.
