What was the act that taxed printed material?

I believe that you are referring to the Stamp Act passed in 1765 by the British Parliament, which was one of the precursors to the American Revolution. The Act taxed each and every piece of paper that was use in the Colonies such as documents, newspapers, ships papers, legal documents, even playing cards, etc. The Act was explained as being used to pay for the cost of supplying British troops to protect the Colonies. This also was an issue that antagonized those rebelling against the Crown.
