I'm not convinced it's a Wine insufficiency. Pagemaker in its day was
professional software, with features meant for commercial printing presses. It
includes postscript printer drivers from Adobe because the Windows drivers
(even the ones from printer manufacturers) were inadequate. Those drivers can't
be installed in Wine, but even if they could, there are no Adobe drivers for
Pagemaker for any printer created in this millenium. That caused problems in
Windows XP and later, too. Adobe's response was to tell people to upgrade to
InDesign.

Don't worry, I'm not going to run through bugzilla closing bugs just because
the app is old. But it's up to people who really want a bug kept open to keep
it updated. The backtrace I attached yesterday should be enough to keep this
zombie shuffling along for at least a couple years; after that, someone else
will need to take up the gauntlet.
