They reuse numbers for what I call "marketing numbers". For example, with a LaserJet 8150dn, the "8150" is a "marketing number" and not the actual HP product number, which was C4267A. As far as I know they've never actually reused a product number. I know that's no consolation when you search for "HP 5480" for that product, and get printers or supplies with that "marketing number" instead.
