In twelfth century England, a single book cost around the same as a warhorse. More than a labourer's annual wage.
And printing did not come through alone; other technologies came with it. Enough, IMO, to plausibly motivate a mage somewhere to run a Divination on "what's going to happen to us if we keep allowing this technology to develop?".
And, as mentioned, dragons. Who are well-motivated to take a long term view.
Yeah, you could poke holes in it if you try. But it's close enough to work for me without shattering WSoD.
