]Maybe I don't understand you, but how do you do this in C?

Simple.  Every time you define a data type, also write a procedure to
print it -- just like you would do in a so-called object oriented
language.

Of course this doesn't give you runtime typing.  But runtime typing
(or runtime polymorphism) is orthogonal to object orientation.
