Reading the logs, im curious what happens if you unplug the MG2900LAN printer? It seems to me as well to cause the crash.

I will add here. Apparently, I have fixed it by finding a workaround. Shutting down cups with sudo service stop cups
has made the game run.
It's a wireless printer, I can't really unplug it. Also, its turned off.
Try using ScummVM to play it instead of WINE.
I don't know why but ScummVM runs extremely poorly on my system. Despite it not being weak or old, audio is just very corrupted/distorted. Also, a couple of old games I tried in the past lost some features (like my copy of Sam and Max Hit the Road not rendering subtitles in ScummVM)
Wireless printers didn't exist when this game came out. Network printers weren't really a thing in homes. I wonder if it's trying to probe the printer for some details, like margins or paper size, and crashes due to latency.
Edit: Have you tried removing/renaming the wineps.drv
file in this bottle?
The game crashes instantly, so maybe not latency. Maybe a valid workaround would be to actually turn on the wireless printer, as all my tests were done with the printer turned off. That actually makes sense.
When I will be able to again I will try to remove the driver too.
