This is a FAQ, I believe. For a similar purpose, I use this:

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphics,color}                                             
\usepackage{eso-pic}                                                            
\AddToShipoutPicture{\resizebox{0.9\pdfpagewidth}{0.9\pdfpageheight}%           
{\rotatebox{60}{\color[gray]{0.8}\hspace*{5mm}\textsc{Sample Paper}}}}

Adapt that to your needs.

Frank
