For HP 2132 printer, the ink is low as not used much after buying around 3 years back. Took around 5 pages printout just after buying and then packed.

Yesterday, I thought to check the condition of the printer. While using HP Smart App, the printer easily connected with Windows laptop, and could scan properly (cannot print as showing low ink).

I tried to take photocopy but paper remaining still and so unable to take even blank printouts. I would like to confirm if it is low ink that is preventing from paper moving?

If the machine is out of ink [or even just thinks it is] then it will not perform any operation that it would expect to use ink in.

That would include photocopying a blank sheet of paper. It has no way of knowing that your sheet will actually require no ink.

After three years of no usage, the ink & heads will likely be dried solid. Check the manufacturer's manual for how to deal with this. It will likely require a long soak to soften the ink dried into the heads. It may, in fact, never quite clear itself properly.
