Note
Only one meaning of printing can be counted, so only one produces this plural: the print run, a single batch of copies. The process, printed matter and unjoined handwriting are all uncountable, so printings almost always means batches: first printings, later printings, additional printings. The same spelling also serves as the present participle of print, but that verb form never takes an -s.
