There is an option to set this, but that option isn't reflected in the
Preferences dialog. The thing that you were looking at is for another class of
error messages. You can revert the option to its default value (i.e., printing
in notebooks) by pasting and evaluating the following:
CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {MessageOptions,
"KernelMessageAction"}] = Inherited
You should only need to do this once, although there is no harm to doing it
multiple times.
