Hi
I see the board is the same as the one I found the manual for
the way the breakout board and stepper drivers are wired with a common Ground
the stepper driver input current is limited by the BOB's 1K pull up and the 200R resistor in the stepper driver -
resulting in a very low input current
active high
Attachment 305724
changing the wiring to a common +5V
the stepper driver input current is limited by the 200R resistor in the driver (as intended by the designer )
active low
Attachment 305726
(don't connect the enable input)
since you had only wired the +5V to the positive enable terminal that can stay as is
the only change I think is needed is to re wire the step and direction inputs
to connect +step and +dir to +5V and the -step and -dir to the correct breakout outputs controlled by printer port pins 2 to 9
