Thanks to Clemens Anklin, Steve McKenna, Mike Strain, Eric Enwall, Sara
Kunz, and Greg Quinting.

The Sun part number for the Sun enhanced parallel port to HP LaserJet
printer is X976A/C6. From Black Box (www.blackbox.com) you can get it
cheaper with academic pricing and the part number is EQN204-0006 ($38.50
academic). Black Box looks like a place to go for any sort of connectivity
challenge.

The small connector on the printer is called a Centronics M and the
connector for the enhanced parallel port on the Sun is called an MDR36M, if
I've got my facts straight.
