For a laser printer to produce 300dpi/16 shades like today's eink it would need to go to 1200dpi.

Note that I was talking about text, not shaded images.
Shading in text is only needed for anti-aliasing, which trades off sharpness for smoothness. So a 300dpi greyscale text cannot match the smoothness of 600dpi black-and-white text without a loss of sharpness..
