Hi JCarr22,

Although you can't set this as default configuration in Word, you can choose the macro way.
Paste the following macro into the VBA editor and save it.

Sub PrintDocWithoutComments()
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, _
PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0
End Sub

Then you can assign a button or key for the macro for future use.

For more detailed information, you can refer to this article:

Hope it helps!
