The typewriter was invented by Christopher Sholes in 1868, so I imagine not too long after that people began to use them.
The first writing machine was in 1714 and in 1829 the typographer was made. In 1868 Sholes made the typewriter and in 1872 Edison makes the first electric typewriter . The idea of the typewriter began with the development of moveable type in Germany in 1434. So, it really didn't replace anything, but was a further development.
