The reason you can't print that symbol is that it's merely a display character Word inserts for an unsupported character in the font concerned. If you select one of those boxes and go to Insert|Symbol, you'll see that it's from Word's Symbol font, which has numerous such characters. These are not checkboxes, but unsupported characters. You will need to use Find/Replace to replace all of those characters with a proper box character. You will find some proper checkbox characters in the Wingdings font, for example.
