Former printing machine (8)
I believe the answer is:
linotype
(Other definitions for linotype that I've seen before include "Composing machine that produces lines of words in strips of metal" , "Old composing machine produced words in metal strips" , "Old-style typesetting machine" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
