That isn't a possible work-around.  Ultimately, showpage will always
erase the page.  The principle is to make each page independent, and
there is no way to trick it.

There are sound reasons for this annoying change, particularly if you
ever convert the file to PDF (and who can be sure this will never
happen). In PDF there is no copypage, so each page has to contain all
of the contents for EVERY preceding page, causing exponential growth
in the file size.

If you want to support level 3 printers you have to face the problem
head on and rewrite to make each page mark all contents.  Just make
the common contents of the page into a procedure and call for each
page.
