Adding to that... have a look at the implemented methods in core_print.clj. 
The print-method will get called on print and println with your instance as 
the first argument. In this example prints a pair type; since elements can 
be anything it just calls print on each.

(deftype Pair [fst snd])
(defmethod print-method Pair [r, ^java.io.Writer w]
  (.write w "Pair(")
  (print (.fst r))
  (.write w ",")
  (print (.snd r))
  (.write w ")"))
