Hope this can help somebody in the future...

LinuxCNC, DQ542MA drivers and DB25-1205 BoB (from Wantai Motors)

When setting this up I had problems to find examples so I thought I might share what worked for me.

Based on this image I found while searching I did the wiring (not mine picture).

The third red form the top that goes to ENBL + is connected to pin 16.

Dip switches on the driver card are set for 200 steps/rev and 1/8 microsteps

In LinuxCNC config I set:

Driver timing: According to what is documented here LinuxCNC Documentation Wiki: Stepper Drive Timing

Parallel port setup:
Pin 2 - XStep
Pin 3 - XDirection
.......
Pin 16 - Amplifier Enable (I will connect all drivers "ENBL+" to this pin. This will be a three axis setup for a mill)

X Axis Setup.
Motor steps revolution : 200
Drivers Microstepping: 8
