Field reverts to "visible but unprintable." Need to print fields!

Filled form fields don't print. When clicking on a field's properties, under common properties (first tab) there is a drop down menu for Form Field. The menu includes four selections: visible, hidden, visible but unprintable, and hidden but printable. The default is always "visible but unprintable" causing filled in fields not to show up during printing. When I select "visible" it always reverts back. Help?
