A telegraph is a largely manual system using series of dot and dash pulses (i.e. short and long pulses). Humans have to translate the letters of the messages to/from the patterns of these pulses.

A teleprinter is an automated system where a machine translates the letters of the message to a character code (e.g. ASCII) using a series of fixed length pulses, then a machine translates these pulses back to letters and prints them on paper.

The one thing they have in common is the pulses used can be transmitted over the same medium: "telegraph" wire, radio "telegraphy", etc.
