Interesting Non Printing Items Question

This is an odd one that I am hoping someone can explain.

I have a book converted from quark to InDesign CS. Windows, XP OS. The images are in the text frames. I have all the images set to print, from the Attributes window the selection is NOT checked. So this stands to reason that they will be printed.

I have items on my master page that are not to print. The attribute window had the selection checked. Indicating that the items shouldnt be printed.

I print my book either using export pdf or print dialog box print to pdf distiller. The images do not show up. Very frustrating!

I test the settings in export pdf, and I click Print Non Printing Items. This has the items on the master page and the images in the text frames printed to the pdf. This worked, but the items on the master page I dont want on the document.

I put the items on the master page on a layer that I turn off before exporting and clicking Print Non Printing Items and it works.
I also cut out the image from the text and placed it in. Still didnt print.

My question, and or concern. Why if an image is set to print that it doesnt until the non printing items box is checked for making a PDF? Any settings I could check?
I even tried printing to the printer, it still doesnt appear until the non printing items box is checked.

Thank you
