I'll see if I can get some further information on this
plotter. Surely an HP plotter can't be this elusive!
My documentation does say HP 7200A.

Let me drop an email to my retired professor who managed
our computer center from the late 1960s through 2001.
Perhaps he has some info on it.

The only 72xx models that I am aware of are (ahem,
*were* :>) the 7225{A,B} and 7240/7245. But, the
724x was thermal so I assume that's not it. The
7225 matches your description, though -- ~14-15" square
desktop footprint... buttons across the front...
