Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press around 1450 in Mainz, Germany. The printing press revolutionized the way information was shared and played a key role in the spread of knowledge during the Renaissance.
Printing was done in ancient China, the type was set by hand. The mechanical printing press was not invented until 1436-1440.
The first printing press was set up in America in 1638 by Stephen Daye, born in London, England in 1611. Through the financing and support of Rev. Joseph Glover, a press and material were shipped from England. Stephen Daye was a descendent of John Day, most eminent and wealthy of early English typographers. After the death of Glover, Daye entered into work, set up the press, and by direction of magistrates and elders he first printed the first issue of the colonial press the "Freeman's Oath" in January of 1739. The second work printed was an almanac by William Pierce, a mariner, in 1739. In 1740, a Psalter was printed. Daye also printed the "Catechism"and "Body of Liberties" containing one hundred laws of the colonies in 1741 (second edition was printed in 1748). Daye was superseded from the management of the press, by appointment of magistrates and elders of Samuel Green a printer. In October 1741, the court of Massachusetts showed their appreciation of Daye's thirteen years of work with a grant of 300 acres of land for "being the first to settle upon printing."
There were no typewriters, just the printing press. Type was set by hand by "typesetters".
The printing press had been in use since the 15th century, using hand-set movable type - a method that lasted into the mid 20th century. As a means of mass-production it was unaffected by the typewriter. Eventually, machine-set type was adopted but that was still not really connected to the prevalence of the typewriter.
No. The first colonies in America were set up by the Spanish.
