Although not very detailed, a useful place to start in terms of gauging where printing presses were in action and likely to play key roles in West Indies printing history is this directory of British caribbean newspapers:

Howard S Pactor, compiler, Colonial British Caribbean Newspaper: A Bibliography and Directory, Greenwood Press, 1990.
