Not like Office Word, OneNote does not provide page break for print. If we want to print an OneNote page, we cannot setting OneNote how to print the page.
Before version 33, Gem for OneNote has provided 'Preview Print Page' features to help writing for print. ( Preview Print Page when Editing ( OneNote Page Breaks) )
But 'Preview Print Page' cannot display when pages large than 3.
Gem for OneNote v33 now improve these features to insert A4 page frames into OneNote page instead of 'Preview Print Page'.

Before you writing in OneNote page, click 'Cooperation' tab -> 'View' group -> 'A4 Page' menu -> 'Add Portrait A4 Page' item, Gem will insert a A4 size frame into current OneNote page.

Start Writing inside of A4 Frame
After insert A4 page frame, we now can begin to writing inside of this A4 frame.

Continue Insert A4 Page 2, 3 …
If you write end of first A4 page, you can continue to insert the second A4 page, on end of second A4 page, and insert the third A4 page, and so on …

Print Preview with A4 Page Frame
After writing inside A4 page frames, now, we want to print this OneNote page. Print preview at first.
Click 'File' tab -> 'Print' item -> 'Print Preview' button, to open 'Print Preview and Settings' window.

Choose A4 in Page Size.
Check 'Scale content to paper with'.
Choose 'Portrait' in Orientation.
Choose '(none)' in Footer.

There is no page formatting or page template support on OneNote 2016 Mac or the online version. I've used the Windows version and the page formatting is a necessary blessing that works very well.

My Question: What is the community doing for workarounds until Msoft fixes the disconnect?

My main problem with the shortfall is that I can't provide legible hard copies of the documents I've created in the freeform space of the OneNote Note. However, the main reason I'm using OneNote in the first place is because of the highly flexible freeform space. My OneNote pages can be printed OK, but the content is actual size. There are no guidelines on the OneNote page I'm creating. And so when it prints the note out, if my content spills over the right printed page margin, I end up with printed pages that would need to be taped together to make any sense. While I can have the page formatting and templates in the Windows version I use at work, I don't have access at home or on the road. But enough about my problem.

Here's a workaround flow that I've discovered helps me. Maybe someone else can benefit and expand.

Change Paper Size In Onenote

From a blank OneNote page; File > Save As PDF, pay attention to where it is saved
Create a new blank OneNote Page; Insert > PDF Printout, select the pdf file from previous step
This will put a copy of the pdf on the note. A blank page with visible margins.
Left Click on the pdf printout > Right Click 'Save Picture As Background'
You now have a visible template onto which you can place objects - text, images, etc.
I've checked on my mobiles - ios & android, and it looks OK
Seems like one could do this to create other templates - but I don't have a solution for a multipage
