I would look at exporting your design rather than using the print option. Generally speaking, in Sketchup, when you want to make a PDF you use the "export" feature rather than the print feature. So go to "Export" and go from there. The "Export to PDF" option should be in there somewhere as long as your computer has some sort of PDF driver installed. If not, Acrobat has free stuff that will at least let you make and view pdfs. 
Are you using Sketchup make? Everyone on the ole interwebz says the pdf printer software is the workaround. There are YouTube videos showing how to print out of the make version.
I did not know Sketchup Make was still available. It's buried on their website. I just downloaded it and will check it out later. Thanks!
I can't help you out, but excuse me while a rant. Google really sold people out when they removed the print function on the free version of Sketchup. I had a number of designs that I had to remake in another program. This time I selected a program that saves its output in standard (non-proprietary) files. It is called LibreCAD. It isn't really that good and only 2D, but when I find a better program I'll be able to load my designs into it. Rant over.
Most things that are not done in native SketchUp are available as a plugin, but I think you can 'Send to LayOut' and then 'Export' to PDF. That way changes made are bidirectional.
