I thought it was an old print term as well (typesetting and moveable type is kind of a hobby of mine), but it terms out "lede" only goes back to the 1980s..

"Mind your ps and qs," "uppercase" and "lowercase" (which case the letters were physically stored in), "against the grain," "make a good impression," and a bunch of other common expressions DO go back centuries or more and come from typesetting and printing.
