The short answer is "you can't", not in standard C.

Given
Code:
enum colours { red, green, blue };
there is no quick and easy way of getting the system to print say "red".

One way is to define a lookup table, such as
Code:
struct {
  enum colours;
  char *word;
} table[] = {
  { red, "red" },
  { green, "green" },
  { blue, "blue" }
};
