	I'll let you fill in the details, but the basic idea is to redefine
showpage to print what you want in the corner and then call the real showpage.
Have this code run outside the normal job loop using the exitserver operator.
Download this code to your printer periodically (say, every 30 minutes).

	The problem with this is that people will eventually discover that if
they turn off the printer and reboot it, they will have, at least until the
next time the code is downloaded, the original showpage.  Once people learn
that, they will just power-cycle the printer whenever they don't want the
"watermark" to show up.
