Abstract
Terminals having analog/digital telephone functions as well as data exchange functions and having a printer-option and for use in a system comprising an access provider/server provider and such a terminal should have a low complexity, which can be realized by locating conversion device for converting data into printer data at the access provider/server provider and by locating switching device for switching the printer data arriving via the telephone network to a printer connector at the terminal. Then, although the hardware printer driver is still in the terminal, the software printer driver is installed at the access provider/server provider, which reduces the complexity and load of the terminal.
