What kind of Printer, which kind of program? What software did it come with?
G1 may be able to get you directed.
I'm used to the old days where you had one program to make 3d models, one to post process into solids, one to post process into machine paths (with offsets) and a final one to run the machine. Very old indeed.
Your 3d printer should come with a program to run the machine and only require a 3d model file of a few different types. i.e. doing it's own 3d solid fill and other post processing. So all that maybe left is conversion of the sketchup (.skp) into the required format. And of course having the user knowledge ( user manuals ) on how to use those.
