That's the answer there, suitable for printing could mean screen printing, transfer printing, DTG (Direct To Garment) printing, vinyl printing etc.
Sublimation printing is what you need to look for (as said above).

They are cotton bibs so it wont transfer properly and last, it will look faded and washed out. The company you purchased them from may have meant suitable for DTG printing not for sye-sub printing.

Can I print onto satin with this or fleece fabric?

Satin is a polyester base so in theory yes. Fleece probably wouldnt work because of the pile.
