A DNA sequence is the actual nucleotide sequence of DNA for example: AGTCGATCA
A DNA fingerprint is taking DNA and using restriction enzymes that break apart DNA at specified DNA sequences. The different lengths of DNA can be seen as they seperate by size when analyzed thru gel electrophoresis. The fragments are the bars you see on the DNA fingerprint plate pictured in books.
This is just a quick overview of each...hope it helps.

Hm, they both are ways to analyse the person´s DNA and identify it to that certain individual. And the differencies... I think that DNA fingerprint kind of shows the person´s overall DNA, and DNA sequencing analyses the DNA into its parts and then shows those separate parts and how they fit together and make up the whole DNA.
Well, I am not an expert in this, I hope my answer gives you some idea of these things and isn´t a way from the right thing.
