Hi,

I have the following in a .tex file:

%-------- specials to put DRAFT across the page
\special{!userdict begin /bop-hook{gsave 200 30 translate 65 rotate
        /Times-Roman findfont 216 scalefont setfont 0 0 moveto 0.9
        setgray (DRAFT) show grestore}def end}

As long as you are sending postscript to the printer, I think some
variant on that will do what you want.  Obviously you'll want to
do something smaller than a bit "DRAFT" diagonally across the page.

hope that helps,
Stuart
