A printer includes an elongate print assembly defining a transverse path along which print media can pass. The print assembly includes a plurality of printhead modules configured to print upon the print media. A support structure is arranged to support the print assembly. The support structure includes a pair of spaced legs which extend from respective ends of the print assembly and each terminates in a respective foot. A supply spool is rotationally mounted between the legs and is configured to carry a wound length of the print media which passes along the path. An uptake spool is rotationally mounted between the legs and the printed print medium can be wound onto it.
