The printing press was developed by Johannes Gutenberg around the year 1440. Many consider the middle ages to have lasted until the year 1500, so yes, the printing press was invented during the late middle ages. If you were meaning to ask if printing was available during the middles, for the great majority of the medieval period it was not available, coming in only at the end and then initially in limited distribution.

Block printing was done by using individual letter 'stamps' to create pages of writing without any need for handwriting.

When was an important technological invention made in the middle ages?
There were quite a few important inventions in the middle ages. To choose one, my personal favorite is the chimney, which was invented in Northern Europe in the 11th or 12th century, and which made it possible for people to have fireplaces for the first time in history. Of course, I would not belittle the importance of the printing press, which was invented in the Late Middle Ages, as is well known, but the Renaissance also claims the printing press, and the fireplace is purely medieval. There is a link below to a related question whose answer lists other important medieval inventions and provides a rather simplistic comparison of the creativity of the Middle Ages with that of the Renaissance.

Did the printing press and the movable kind emerge during the middle ages?
The printing press was developed in the late middle ages by Johannes Gutenberg around the year 1440. This, together with another not entirely clear development (probably using a hand mould) by Gutenberg that made the mass production of movable type practical, introduced modern printing to Europe.

How did the new vernacular literature reflect the growing national pride in the middle ages?
There was no literature in the middle ages. It takes a printing press to publish literature and that wasn't invented until 1446 in Germany. People couldn't read or write in the middle ages so no one could read literature, if it had existed. Because there was no "new vernacular literature" it did not reflect a national pride. People also didn't have "nationalism" in the middle ages. They owed an allegiance to a king and the nobility.
