I don't think so, it's this one
www.kelinginc.net/BreakoutBoards.html
The one at top left
Also how can I find the address of my parallel ports in linux?

That is a CNC4PC C10 even the pdf is branded with CNC4PC.
After you boot you can open up a terminal and put
dmesg|grep parport
and you might get something like this
[ 7.305717] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
When you try and jog can you see the direction pin come on? It will be on one way and off the other. When you try and jog will the stepper move one step? That usually means you have step and direction backwards.

I'm not getting any movement at all. The motors are getting warm but not hot.
this is what I get using that command, which address should I use?
[ 10.357066] parport_pc 00:0b: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
[ 10.357136] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA]
[ 10.468290] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
[ 10.880388] parport_serial 0000:00:0a.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[ 10.880417] parport1: PC-style at 0xc000 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]

Also, you can open up Show Hal Configuration window and turn on an unused out pin.
The syntax for that is:
setp parport.0.pin...
You will have to look at the pins for the parallel port and pick one.

Ok I tried that but got an error "Invalid Argument"
I may be wrong but while running a test file I can watch the values change in HAL so maybe it's in the wiring or the parallel cable??

Did you finish the pin number?
It's setp for set pin then the name of the pin like parport.0.pin-10-out or something like that...
