I've been working with PageMaker (and pre-press in general) many years
starting from Aldus PageMaker 4.2, that was my day job. PageMaker never
shipped Postscript drivers, and it worked perfectly well with not Postscript
drivers, it just doesn't support color separation in that mode. InDesign is
a very different application, with very different requirements and abilities.
