I am about to hook-up Mach 2 to the Camtronics controller on my Bridgemill (2004). Is there a wiring diagram for the correct pinout or is the Mach 2 program already set up to drive this controller?

You can configure Mach 2's step and direction output to a number of different pins on the 25 pin printer port. You need to find out which pins your Camtronics controller uses. Once you know this then you can configure Mach 2 to match it.
