What you don't really know?

So should I unused all the other pins? 

Sorry, I forgot to return with the result. I'm only four years late.

Anyway, it worked just fine.

YES! They are free to move when I power off and it locks when I power the board on.

Sorry but it doesn’t allow me to upload the original quality photo.

It seems you are using Z pins. So it should be P6 for step and P7 for direction and P1 for enable.

Is the motor shaft locked when you power everything up or can it spin freely if you turn it by hand?

If they are free to move, try reverting enable pin.

What these comands show?

lspci -v
sudo cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
ls /dev/parport*

You have to know what are step and dir pins.

I see you are missing usb cable to powerup your bob computer-side.

Could you take a closeup picture so we can understand your wiring?
