A printed lie is just a lie. Libel and slander have to do with statements of fact meant to hurt the image earning potential of a person or entity that are not true. There is an intent component and actual or possible damage. Just lying doesn't really rise to libel. This would likely fail as it's not that far off and the company itself isn't mentioned.
It's just carelessness. But yes, slander is spoken, and libel is written.
