Sounds like either your pickup roller or separation pad is worn, or the pickup solenoid is sticking. Remove the paper tray and look at the grey roller located in the top front of the paper tray cavity. I should be a consistent color and have small fingerprint like ridges on it. If it is smooth it needs to be replaced.
A sticking solenoid will cause the printer to make extra pickup rotations as well and really the best way to determine that is to remove the side panel and manually operate the solenoids to see if the stick in one position or the other. There are numerous videos on Youtube on servicing the solenoid on the pickup assemblies of HP printers.

Thank you for reply.
I have checked the rollers and they are in good condition.
The printer have printed 12.500 pages and is from 2009.
When I set the printer to use Heavy paper (96-113gr) it goes down in speed and the extra empty paper do not come.
I will try to look at the solenoids in the near future.
