If buying stationery, I think usually one would say: "I want paper." / "I want this kind of paper."
If it was a newspaper that someone else was reading, then I might say (rudely but accurately), "I want the paper."

simonlearnenglish2)I want the paper.Grammatically, the sentence is correct but for it to be semantically sensible, it needs more context.
"The paper" refers to a specify paper.

You do say "this kind of paper" but if there is a stack of paper at a table, you would say "Please hand me the paper", not "Please hand me paper."
This is a not-uncommon case where you do not use the definite article "the" when you are referring to the item in the abstract, but you do use the definite article when you are referring to it in its concrete form. Even at someone else's house
