Hi @Ja_P,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing an issue with your Deskjet 2700. wont print ink. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Align the printheads or cartridges in your printer when you replace them, to improve print quality, or to clear an alignment error.
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
Open the HP Smart app, and then click the picture of your printer to open the settings and management tools.
In Print Quality Tools or in Advanced Settings > Tools > Utilities > Print Quality Toolbox, select Align or Align Printheads to start the alignment.
