I have a brand new HP2700. The paper will feed a quarter of the way and stops. The rollers don’t turn. I can hear it printing but the paper won’t feed.

Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that your printer is not picking up paper, I am glad to assist you.
From which tray are you trying to print?
Meanwhile:-
Clean the paper pick rollers inside printer the printer
Clean the paper pick rollers under the cartridges or inside the paper tray area.
- Get a flashlight.
- Turn off the printer.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent, and then disconnect the power cord and any cables from the rear of the printer.
- Remove the paper stack from the input tray.
- Depending on your printer model, use the flashlight to find the paper pick roller.
- PRINTERS WITH THE ROLLER UNDER THE CARTRIDGES
- PRINTERS WITH THE ROLLER ABOVE THE INPUT TRAY
- Lightly dampen a cotton swab with water, and then squeeze it to remove any excess water.
- Clean the rollers with the swab, rotating the rollers with your fingers to completely clean them.
- Allow the rollers to dry for two minutes.
- Reconnect the power cord and cables, and then turn on the printer.
