I write a lot of Draft documents which are distributed for comment and then sent back to me. How do I insert a watermark which reads DRAFT across an A4 sheet of paper as it is printed out?
I am on a Windows XP OS and I am using 1.9.79 (Beta 2.0)
Thanks to the list for any help in this matter.
Also thanks to all the volunteers who do a very good job.

Make a graphic file that says DRAFT (perhaps in draw) the right click and select Arrange then Background.
This will work, but, in my experience, it can produce MUCH, MUCH better printer throughput to use a watermarking feature in the printer driver instead, if there is one. (I'm talking about an eight-to-one speed difference.)
Is there a way to add this my printer if it doesn't have it?
You couldn't add it, as such; it's either in the driver or it isn't. You could /try/ using a driver for some similar, but different printer, especially if it's PostScript. But the smarter the driver, the more likely it is to say, "Hey, this isn't one of my printers!"
I don't recall whether the Microsoft Generic PostScript driver has a watermark feature.
Anyway, depending on your printer and how it's cabled, it may not be important. For my particular case, it was a huge difference.
