Here is a German site with some nice buildings. They come in N and HO scale.

Here is a site with some buildings at OO scale you can print at 48% to get N scale.

There are plenty of models to buy that are in 25 mm scale which is around 1:72 scale in ratios. You can print them at 45% to get N scale.
It is best to print one test building and make sure the it fits, though. Some of the scale information differs depending on where you get it from, i.e. USA, UK, Europe mainland, etc.

As previously mentioned a lot of these papercraft railway buildings come from British, German and Japanese makers who design for A4 size paper. For a printer with limited scaling capability a rule of thumb I've learned for scaling down is, when printing 2 pages per sheet multiply the original scale by 1.414 (not exact for letter size paper). When printing 4 pages per sheet multiply the original scale by 2, and for 9 pages per sheet multiply by 3. Those should get you close enough to 1:160 as individual buildings do differ in proportions.
Even better, you can design and print your own Dutch Renaissance houses using this Flash-based website (archived on WayBack Machine):
