I'm not really sure about the best way to do the implementation for this, but
here is some PostScript that will print something similar to what you need. I use this from within MS Word (formatted as PostScript style and placed in the 
header) to print messages such as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL etc.

Good luck with this.

This works nicely.  Put it as the first thing in a header which appears on
on every page.  Be sure to set the style to PostScript...
 
% fonts
/t/Times-BoldItalic findfont 96 scalefont def
 
% 15 0 {exch pop} setscreen
 
150 500 translate       % position on page
 
.9 setgray
2 0 moveto
t setfont (Draft) show

 I use this fragment of code (I didnt write it.... but it works...)
 
gsave
initmatrix 72 dup scale
/Helvetica-Bold findfont 1 scalefont setfont
(DRAFT) dup
stringwidth pop
4.5 5.5 translate
60 rotate 2 div neg 0 moveto
.95 setgray
show
grestore
 
You can put any characther string in the place of the word draft...(i find
that "confidential" is another good word to use...), and then put this
into the header of the document.  Make sure that you format the text as
hidden and of style Postscript (from the PS glossary).
 
Hope that helps....
