Can't seem to get your stepper photo to load, but was able to look at the driver. The driver appears to be bi-polar.
If the steppers are 6 wire that would normally indicate it is center tapped on each coil for use with unipolar drivers or bipolar drivers.
So what you need to do is get our a continuity meter and figure out which groups of 3 wires are inter-connected. One group is phase a and the other is phase b. Totally arbitrary.
Now that you have the phases identified, you need to figure out which 2 wires out of the 3 are the end taps and which one is the center tap. To do this get your your digital multi-meter and set for resistance. Between 2 wires in a phase you will get a resistance that is about double of that from one wire to either of the others.
Now you know the 3 wires in a phase and the end taps and the center tap for each phase you are ready to connect to your drive. Decide if you want 1/2 coil or full coil connection and connect to the drive. If the motor just hums and does not move when powered up and pulse signals being sent then power down, flip the wires on either one (only one) phase and you should be off and running.
Hope that helps,
