Yep, that's the product.  I just got mine yesterday and will be installing it
this week.

HP is offering this stuff direct for $495.00.  The number for ordering is
1-800-538-8787.  The product number is 88141A, but you don't need it to order.

Disclaimer:  (This shouldn't be necessary, but...)  I don't really care
	     whether you order one of these things or not.  I certainly
	     have nothing to gain if you do.  This is intended only as
	     a public service announcement for those who have been looking
	     for a reasonable way to print PostScript on their HP LaserJet
	     Series II printer.
