From the main menu:

File

... Page Setup...

This pulls up the 'Page Setup' dialog box, which allows you to set the paper size, orientation and Left, Right, Top and Bottom margins.

You can also opt to 'print single page width', which restricts the print out to just the 'left hand' pages of Mathcad (Mathcad's display model is like a very large whiteboard made up from pages of paper. You can write anywhere on the 'whiteboard', even over the page margins. When you print, you (by default) print the entire whiteboard, running down each 'column' of pages in turn (starting at the left). The left hand pages are treated specially in some cases, printing being one of them (you can't restrict the printing to just any other column) and text regions being another (you set a text region properties to occupy a page other than the left hand one ... which is a nuisance on occasion))

If you mean physical lines that get printed on the page, there is no way in mathcad. (You could paste in a graphic, but location would be up to you.)

As far as your worksheet is concerned, the left margin is the left edge of the sheet, top and bottom margins are the top and bottom of each page, right margin is the solid vertical line that causes text wrap. If you change the margins in page setup you can see the line spacings change.

Although, Fred, View Header and Footer does allow the user to draw a frame around the page and the header and footer. I use this as the default setting for my worksheets.
