If you read the documentation, particularly the section entitled "Setting printer options for Excel files", there's a lot of information about page setup for printing:-

Orientation and Paper Size:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageSetup()
    ->setOrientation(PHPExcel_Worksheet_PageSetup::ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageSetup()
    ->setPaperSize(PHPExcel_Worksheet_PageSetup::PAPERSIZE_A4);

Page margins:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageMargins()->setTop(1);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageMargins()->setRight(0.75);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageMargins()->setLeft(0.75);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageMargins()->setBottom(1);

Headers and Footers:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getHeaderFooter()
    ->setOddHeader('&C&HPlease treat this document as confidential!');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getHeaderFooter()
    ->setOddFooter('&L&B' . $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->getTitle() . 

Printer page breaks:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->setBreak( 'A10' , PHPExcel_Worksheet::BREAK_ROW );

Showing grid lines:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->setShowGridlines(true);

Setting rows/columns to repeat at the top/left of each page

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageSetup()
    ->setRowsToRepeatAtTopByStartAndEnd(1, 5);

Setting the print area:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
    ->getPageSetup()
    ->setPrintArea('A1:E5,G4:M20');
