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.

What were colonists taxed on?

The colonists were taxed on molasses, sugar (Molasses act), newspapers, pamphlets and signing legal documents (Stamp Act). They were also forced to provide British soldiers with food, drink, candles and places to live (Quartering Act). Then there came the Townshend Acts, which taxed tea, paper, glass, lead and paint imported from Britain. The Molasses Act was repealed in 1764, the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, the Townshend Acts were repealed in about 1773, but Britain kept a tax on tea (Tea Act).
