Printing 'behind' a page

I'm having a printing problem!  I have [several] graphics pages that I want to
print twice, once 'as is' and once with the word "COPY" printed 'behind' the
page.
I'm using ps files generated from PageMaker on an IBM (not by choice,
really ;-)
I have found the place where the showpage is executed, and I figured that I
could just substitute a couple of commands in there to do the job.
{gsave showpage grestore}
I tried:
{gsave copypage logo showpage grestore}
and
{gsave copypage gsave logo grestore showpage grestore}  (in the hopes of saving
the page and restoring the image onto the 'COPY').
Both of these caused the word COPY (printed large scale at .95 greyscale)
to obscure words on the page.  I now know that 'printed white' will blot out
previously printed text.
(I'm using logo to print COPY)
How can I make the 'COPY' appear behind the printed page?

Thanks,
Kurt
