Recycling a copy machine

[MotorFly]

I have got a copy machine, which can be used as the source of stepping motors, drivers etc.
The motors are STP42D225-04 1.8deg/step 2.4Ohm.
They are driven with STK672-040 chip.
datasheet
The power supply provides 24V and 5V.
I would like to use them (if possible) for my first CNC-mill. I just want to begin.
Do not ask me about my experience in electronics But I’m very motivated.
So, I need some suggestions: how to connect the driver to LPT-port, do I need some kind of controller between them? Is there an example somewhere?
On the 6th page of datasheet, if I understand correctly, the pin 15 (direction) should be not just grounded but connected to the LPT(?), 18(enable) set to HIGH.
Can I get CLK (pin 14) from PC?
The reason to use these parts is pretty simple: I have them already. But maybe it is a wrong way?
Thank you

Answers to questions is order of presentation;

Yes, you probably need a driver.
Yes, MACH 3 is a control system that does it.

There are an number of ways to interface a parallel port to darn near anything. You are merely limited by your creativity and your knowledge base.

TO increase the latter:

Do a "parallel port interfacing" search on google.
Do a "parallel port drive" search on this website search engine.

This should get you going....

If you use Mach2 on the PC, it will output a step (clock) and Dir (direction) signal to the lpt port pin of your choice. This should be compatible with the driver chip you're using. Ideally, you should build a simple opto coupler circuit so that you don't burn out your PC if you make a mistake.
