B&H designed the Lucida family for 300 dpi lasers, and Lucida Fax to
be legible even after several rebroadcasts through facsimile machines
and copiers.  The latter may work well for you as well.

You can order Lucida fonts at:

Beyond that, look for ttf (and ttf-flavoured opentype fonts) which
have good "non-anti-aliased" instructions.  Fonts like Verdana or
Trebuchet should look OK (perhaps even w/o instructing).

On the libré front, /URWBookmanL-Ligh (or /Bookman-Light) should
also render well at such resolutions.  (New)? Century Schoolbook
may also hold up well.
