[pdftex] draftcopy

[John S. Dey]

I have been using watermarks when printing from MS Word using Distiller 
driver and there is not any appreciable delay when printing resulting PDF 
file using Acrobat to an HP 4050 printer.  Maybe the micros in the packages 
listed below are not set to do the job efficiently?  I haven't tried to 
produce the Draft watermark myself in pdftex but plan to.
