No - you are confusing the question - is there any output from your parallel port socket. If your breakout board in defective, then you cannot test at the breaout board. What you need to do is disconnect your cable from the breakout board, and check the signals on the plug pins. See if there is any signal at these.
The easiest to check are the dir pins - which should change from 0v to 5v (or vica versa ) onchange of direction. There various output pins can be checked as well by putting out M3 M4 signals on the variou pins, and the input pins can be shorted to the 0v signal return lines - and will show up on the diagnostic page.
If you have signals on your plug, then you still have a fault on the breakout board.
