No.
Printing presses have been around for centuries.
The biggest improvement in them came when Johannes Gutenberg (who lived 1400 - 1468, 236 years before Benjamin Franklin was born) was the first European to develop printing with movable type.

∙ 15y agoYes, Benjamin Franklin did invent the first public library. He founded a club called the Junto, in which he and some other friends read books and discussed them so that they could improve their rhetoric. Since books were scarce, they would buy them and pool them so that eventually it grew into the first public library.

∙ 6y agoNo, Franklin did not invent the printer, printing, or the printing press.
However he did make very extensive use of the printing press; printing books, magazines, broadsheets, leaflets, etc.
Note: in Franklin's time "printer" was not a machine it was a job title, the "printing press" is the machine that a printer used to do his job. This is similar to the word "computer" which before WW2 was not a machine it was a job title.
