Look at the thread for "Watermarking a PDF". The /BeginPage page device operator is what you'd use for this.
I suppose it's possible to insert this code into the PPD, but that's not really what PPDs are for. They are mainly a collection of constants, but there are some setpagedevice code snippets you might be able to "co-opt".

Thanks for the reply! I'm not very familiar with the printing process. Will this work for all applications? We are running Windows NT with Vax/Vms hosted applications. I've tried using the properties watermark feature and it doesn't work for the Vax documents. I took a look at the "Watermarking a PDF", I'm still a little confused. Is it possible to add this code to a separator or banner page and would it print the watermark on all pages of the print job? We have two printers attached that only use letter size and both need to have the overlay on all printed documents.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood, my answer pointed you to the method for achieving a watermark effect through actual PostScript programming. For more complex graphics you would use a PostScript forms dictionary... but apparently you don't want to do PostScript programming?
