A couple of queries came up from my posting of the draft postscript file so
here is a little clarification:

{\scriptsize clarification}

:-)

But seriously...

1) Make it lighter: look for the line 
.80 setgray

and reduce the number there (scale is 0 to 1, with 1 being as black as your
laserprinter can get, black which is TRULY gray in my case, alas)

2) How to use it for more than one page: put 
\special{draft.ps}
in a footer. I was using fancyheadings.sty and
\lfoot{\special{draft.ps}}
which seemd to work fine. To change the position on the page (I guess it
doesn't sit right on American 11"x9" paper) then change the line

80 100 moveto

as appropriate. It is moving from the place where the file is included, ie
bottom left if used in \lfoot so increasing the two values (x and y) moves it
across and up.

3) Other wps: well, the principal is that this draws the picture and you need
to persuade your wp to include it on every page. I guess that most wps offer
footers or headers and so it should be transprotable so long as your printer
speaks fluent postscript.

4) Underlay rather than overlay: this probably depends on which your printer
prints first. In fact making the word lighter will make it look like it
underlays the text I would think.

5) Anything following a % mark inthe file is a comment of course, just like in
TeX and LaTeX

Hope this is clearer now.
