Please do! Any examples from any of the techniques you've mentioned would be good to see. If you could supply an example like the one I asked of Johannes Meixner, that would be very helpful. Say I have a PDF file called "report.pdf". How would I print it with that file name in the margin of either the first page or all pages. Being able to do this (for both PostScript and PDF) would be immensely helpful to me. I lose track of which printed document came from which paper (I'm too lazy to annotate the document manually after printing...)
