I strongly doubt you will be able to print, using a stepper motor... :-D

Seriously you should reconsider your approach, since you may damage the motherboard or the stepper driver. You should carefully read the driver reference manual and possibly use a microcontroller to interface with it.

Are you sure that you want to connect the motor to the computer directly?

For that purposes you should work with an acquisitions card, I made some projects like that during the faculty and we used a PCI-Lab 9112.

By the way... here people help for free, so for potential next questions... avoid "as soon as possible", "urgent" and things like that.
