The options are:
1. Put all the checkboxes inside a Rich Text Content Control and have a macro that hides that CC when printing.
2. Move the checkboxes to a VBA userform which you can call any time you want to make changes
3. Make a customised Ribbon with the checkboxes on it

Options 2 and 3 removes the checkboxes from the doc itself so no need to hide them.
