I have some code that does that [1] - you basically need to write a
printer and then tell the top level to use it.

#install_printer printer-name;;

Based on some code from Markus Mottl's excellent Lacaml library. It
works for fortran float vectors and matrices. It needs work, but 
suits my current needs.

open Bigarray
open Format

let print_vec f vec =
  let r = Array1.dim vec in
  fprintf f "@[";
  for i = 1 to r do
    fprintf f "@\n";
    fprintf f "@[%#11.6g@]" vec.{i};
  done;
  fprintf f "@]@\n"

let print_mat f mat =
  let r, c = Array2.dim1 mat, Array2.dim2 mat in
  let width = (get_margin ()) / (11+1) in

  let rec print_cols start num rows cols mat =
    let next_start = start + num in
    let finish = min (next_start - 1) cols in

    if cols > num then
      if start = finish then
        fprintf f "@\n@[Column %d@]@\n" start
      else
        fprintf f "@\n@[Columns %d through %d@]@\n" start finish;
    fprintf f "@[";
    for i = 1 to rows do
      fprintf f "@\n@[@;";
      for j = start to finish do
        fprintf f "@[%#11.6g@]" mat.{i,j};
        fprintf f "@;"
      done;
      fprintf f "@]"
    done;
    fprintf f "@]@\n";

    if finish = cols then
      ()
    else
      print_cols next_start num rows cols mat
  in

  print_cols 1 width r c mat
