Is printing religious books that contain remembrance (dhikr) and the Qur’an and distributing them to people considered an ongoing charity (ṣadaqah jāriyah)?

Printing and distributing copies of the Qur'an and books of remembrance is considered an ongoing charity ( jariyah) that benefits a Muslim after their death, based on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, among the good deeds and merits that will reach a believer after his death are knowledge he taught and disseminated, a righteous child he left behind, or a Mus'haf (copy of the Qur'an) he bequeathed..." This indicates that disseminating copies of the Qur'an, books of remembrance, and religious knowledge is an ongoing charity.
