One thing which might prove useful is QuickScript, explained at http://www.ericlindsay.com/computer/printing.htm . In short this is a text-based markup language that gets translated to postscript *inside* your postscript printer thanks to a special header. I have still to figure out, though, how to put my fixed institutional header in every page with this tool.
On page 34 of the (postscript) manual, the procedure for placing graphic borders on every page is explained. It is my understanding this procedure can be tweaked to print any graphic.

From page 37 onward, you'll find everything about embedding EPS graphics.

On a sidenote: I'm having serious difficulties getting to the author's (Graham Freeman) ftp site, ftp://ftp.adfa.edu.au/pub/postscript/ . Am I alone in this, or do others experience the same non-access issues?

Another possible advantage of QuickScript: It might be possible to send the postscript files directly to a Bluetooth-enabled PostScript printer, thus foregoing the need for a complete printing system on the N800. I'd very much like to try this, but my bluetooth-to-parallel connector is fried and I'm awaiting a new one.
