I've got just the thing for you.  This shell script is run as a filter
and redefines the "showpage" and "copypage" operators to print the
word "DRAFT" (by default) or whatever word you want as outlined
characters diagonally across the page.  Thus, you might say

	psdraft file.ps | lpr

To get it to read stdin, use - as the file name:
	dvi2ps file.dvi | psdraft - | lpr

I have tested it with output from Scribe, TeX and ditroff.
