I don't see anything wrong in the dmesg
What actual problem do you have?
What does linuxcnc print on the terminal if started from the command line?

Thanks for the reply PCW. I can't seem to get any response from the cnc machine at all. The linuxcnc software appears to be running ok now but i get no movement at all or response from my cnc router

Is the hardware known to work?
This sounds like a configuration or hardware (BOB, drives, drive enables etc) issue
Can you make anything move with stepconfs "test this axis" option?

Are all the LEDs that used to light up still lighting up?
Why did the fuse blow? Was the blown fuse a symptom of the death of some other component?

The fuse blew I believe because the spindle jammed while cutting aluminium and overloaded. I'm not sure if its relevant or not but when I run the parallel port test (PortTest) all of the output pins are showing red and I can't change them to green. But all 5 input pins are green. Excuse my ignorance I am a bit lost lol

That seems odd for the outputs.
Which parallel port tester?
First thing to check is that the parallel port still exists for the PC, and that you have the base address correct.

It was the PortTest in Linuxcnc. I don't think the parallel port does exist anymore for some reason. Does that mean I need to reinstall drivers or something? I also think that my spindle output being RS232-RS485 has also disappeared.

You should not need any drivers (LinuxCNC provides a driver, and loads it as needed).
In fact the problem might be a driver, perhaps the pp module (parallel port printing, I think) has claimed the port so LinuxCNC can't get it.
Does the output of dmesg give any clues? (probably best to clear it with "sudo dmesg -c" before starting LinuxCNC, and start LinuxCNC from the command line ("linuxnc" command) as that often gives more debug data.
