Actual misprint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

literal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'actual' is the first definition.
('literal' can be a synonym of 'actual')

'misprint' is the second definition.
('literal' can be a synonym of 'misprint')

(Other definitions for literal that I've seen before include "without distortion" , "Simple" , "Verbatim - true" , "A tiller (anag.)" , "according to specifications" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
