The common reasons for this issue are various, for instance, the paper input tray is overloaded, dust or moisture can affect the paper feed or paper pick rollers, the printer driver is old, etc. Thus, the printer cannot detect the paper that has been inserted into the tray.
Do a hard reset on your printer. To do this you just need to turn off your printer, unplug for a few minutes and then plug the printer again. If that still doesn`t work, try turning the printer and your computer off, and then start it back up again. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling your printer driver.
Under Hardware and Sound, click Printer. Right-click your product, and then select Printing Preferences. From the Printing Preferences menu, select Paper/Quality. From the Paper Source drop-down menu, select Tray 2.
Pick up the front of the tray, pull it out slightly, and lower the tray back down so it is level. Pull the right side of paper tray out. Move the paper tray to the right and take the tray out of the machine.
Dust, paper fiber, and other debris might accumulate on the pick rollers and cause paper feed issues. To help prevent paper feed issues, clean the rollers inside the printer and in the duplexer (if equipped).
Paper Overloading
Because many desktop inkjet printers are top-loading, it can be easy to overload the tray.
Currently, there are two main Envy 4500 series printers of note, the HP Envy 4500 e- All-in-One, released in 2013, and the HP Envy 4520 All-in-One, released in 2015.
On the printer control panel, press the Down Arrow to select Tools, and then press OK. Press the Down Arrow to select Clean Printhead, and then press OK. The printer cleans the printhead, and then prints a printhead test page.
Right-click your printer, and then select Printing Preferences. From the Printing Preferences menu, select Paper/Quality. From the Paper Source drop-down menu, select Tray 2. From the Paper Size drop-down menu, select the appropriate paper size for the print job.
There are four possible causes why the toner does not stick to the paper/media when printing: The wrong type of paper/print media is being used. The Paper Type setting is wrong for the type of paper/media being used. One or more of the toner cartridges being used are not supported or are not working correctly.

Paper jam in tray 2 (but no paper pulled from tray) also M476DN models
ANSWER : Isopropyl alcohol is not recommended for rubber rollers. It dries out the rubber and hasten it’s cracking and breaking. It will do nothing to restore the grip. Those rollers are really hard to replace. It would be easy if that dumbass secondary menu really worked. None of the techs I’ve spoke to ever got into it. Everyone I know sends a print job and listens for the roller to rotate into position where you can pull it off.
