'We have no paper' is wrong?

      Why is "we do not have a paper" wrong?

        Because paper is uncountable. 'a paper' implies a newspaper, or perhaps some document, but that would be rather colloquial.

            It may be hard sometimes, but actually it's helpful in a way ;)

              Why is ‘we don’t have paper ‘not acceptable ?
