There are essentially only three differences between the 200dpi and 300dpi versions of the Zebra 105SL:

1. the printhead,
   
2. the pulley on the drive motor, and
   
3. the factory model setting.
   

In a nutshell to convert either direction you need to replace the printhead, replace the motor (the pulley is press-fitted and therefore not field replaceable), and change the model setting in the factory menu.

Zebra part numbers:
G32433M 105SL 300dpi printhead (list $575)
G32432-1M 105SL 203dpi printhead (list $470)
G46199M 105SL DC Stepper Drive Motor with 300dpi pulley (list $81)
G46198M 105SL DC Stepper Drive Motor with 203dpi pulley (list $80)

Changing the Model Setting:

1. Power on the printer while holding the '-' key and hold until all the lights flash.
   
2. Press Next/Save until you see 'Model Select'
   
3. Select 105-8 for 203dpi or 105-12 for 300dpi
   
4. Press the right arrow to save that setting
   
5. Power off the printer, count to 10, and power it back on to test
