Parport base address set to 0x2000 is the solution. Now the motor is working! Thank you very much!

I have a something similar setup and you should be able to do it with the one configuration. Since linuxcnc supports multiple spindles I just made another spindle instance and then used a mux2 component to switch between outputting the axis velocity and spindle velocity to the mesa stepgen.  I think I just used the spindle.1.on signal to switch the mux2 component.  That way when I issue m3 s100 $1 it will run the second spindle at 100 rpm.  There could be some issues keeping position if you switch back and forth between the modes depending on how things are setup.    

In StepConf wizard, the "parallel port" page there is an entry for "parport base address" so set that to 0x2000 and test if the stepper moves.
If not, also try 0x2010 but it would be good to reboot the PC before testing it.
