To start off, the "limitations" are basically numbers that represent two
things: First, they are the numbers that HP uses to generate projected 
warranty and repair statistics. The only reliability concern with printing
large daily amounts is that you will (statistically) have more repairs
necessary per unit time than is indicated for those that use their printers
within the described usage (gee, what a revelation). Second, the numbers
are a guideline to help people decide if this is the right printer for them.
For instance, larger and more frequent print jobs require that the printhead
be replaced more often. If you anticipate printing 500-1000 pages a day, 
expect to replace the printhead daily. This may be unacceptable for say, a 
networked printer that is used by many people who have no idea when the
printhead was last changed.
