Your controllers are only rated for 40 VDC >https://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/kl-stepper-drivers/kl-4030driver
I agree with Gerry its in the Port address or type of LPT port selected.
Frankly I tried the WinXP parallel port on mine and was not a happy camper. Got tired of screwing around and did what I was advised to do on here..... go to a Ethernet based controller. I used this and my problems went away. https://cnc4pc.com/uc400eth-ethernet-motion-controller-b.html
And I am sure you realize the outputs to the motors are steps to each phase, not just voltage.
