Because of our ERP system is unable to handle templates, we have to load them into to the flash memory of our printers. So we always have to buy expensive printers with flash memory option.

You could look onto the "alternate pstops filter" (see the links section) and see if the 
watermark feature implemented there may be suitable to implement your templates. If yes, and
you need support in PostScript programming, feel free to ask.
