What's the difference between wide and college ruled?

Wide ruled lines are about 8.7 mm apart and suit early handwriting; college ruled is about 7.1 mm and fits more lines per page for older students and note-taking. Narrow is tighter still.

Can I print lined paper on A4?

Yes — choose A4 and the ruling is laid out for A4 dimensions so nothing is cut off when you print outside the US.
