The OUTPUT keyword is for sending PostScript commands directly to the
file. I assume you are wanting to include some type of metadata, not
PostScript commands? The only thing I can think of now is to
post-process with sed or some other text utility:

sed -e"s/produced by IDL/produced by me/" idl.ps > my.ps

You could even do this in IDL since it is just text.
