The closest would be the 9872, but failing that... try the 7475A or 7580B.

However, if your software emits an "OI" command, and asks the plotter to
ID itself, the jig is up.  It will reject a response of "7220B" or whatever.
You may be able to work around it by telling the software you have a
"spooled" plotter (i.e., no direct connect).

If the plot "sort of" works, but is, for example, inverted, try inverting
or transforming the P1 and P2 position settings via the plotter controls.
