Well, assumably since "Typist" comes from what they do, typing.
and those who use word processors or processing, then 
conceivably you could call them "procists" or "procs".
Personally i would ask them how the think they are going to
do any word proccessign without typing...
Or, call them by what the are typing.. (ow, that word again)
To really be accurate, assuming they are not writing this but
are typing in from something.
you could have three job titles:

"Letter-clerk"
"manuscript-entry clerk"
"data-entry clerk"

Note the last one is already in common use.
But I would refrain from buckling in and call them
typists. Really. Tell 'em to join reality.--
