not realy,

because for example pin 6/7 will stll be connected to the same optocouples of the board (physicaly).

to do this test you have to swap Pins at the 25pol. Sub D (LPT Card or board side does not matter).

M84 uses the Outputs for spindle controll witch are configured directly.
i am using them only virtualy and do the control in M3/M4/M5.

you can check the direct signals from the parallel port (pin 6/7 from 25pole Sub D), with oszilloscope.

so have swapped the Z wires on your BOB, and it worked fine.
-means Motor Controller and Motor and motro wiring is ok.

so what else is left as the bob ?

Looks like your Card/port is faulty on pin 6/7.

on the Picture i can see you have a 5th.

just for a test hook axis Z to the 5Th axis

and confiure your Z axis step to pin1 and dir to pin14
