OK Tweakie,
I reinstalled the PCI card. It is configured ECP printer port LPT1 0378 and installed new drivers. Mach is set to LPT1 0x378.
I also went into the bios and set ECP instead of EPP and DMA 03. I'm still getting a steady 5.0 volts at pin 2,3,4,5,6,7.
I also hooked up the step motors and still nothing. What do you suggest?

I installed the new card. I no longer have a printer port LPT1 now I have ECP parallel port LPT1. It still does not work.
