I was thinking Kuttner at first, but that turned up nothing. I knew it was someone from that era, someone who had written more than one story about enchanted Linotype machines. I finally dredged Fredric Brown out of the sludge I call a brain, and turned up... "The Angelic Angleworm."
I hate my brain sometimes.

You have indeed got it, Nowhere Man (Sorry, ABR). I think my next quote would have had to be a spoiler - like how he gets to where he corrects the problem. Brown used madness freely in his work - it even shows in titles:
Madball, and
What Mad Universe. The collection you refer to might be
Angels and Spaceships. I tricked my mom into getting it for me at a book fair in third grade (1954), and
my brain has been warped ever since. Take it away Fred ....
