A manually moveable printer (20) is designed to print onto a page of print media (20) as a user swipes (21) the printer across the page. The printer has a printhead arrangement, which includes a number of ink ejection nozzles. The printer has a speed sensor designed to measure the speed at which the printhead arrangement is moved relative to the print media and to generate speed data. The printer also has a print controller designed to receive image data from an image source, convert the image data into a number of drop ejection signals, receive the speed data from the speed sensor and operate the ink ejection nozzles. The nozzles are operated in accordance with the drop ejection control signals at a rate determined using the speed data.
