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 located under the cartridges
  • PRINTERS WITH THE ROLLER ABOVE THE INPUT TRAY
  • Rollers in the paper tray area
  • 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.
