if "stop print" means "start a new line", a plain "print" will do
what you want:

    def printMultiples (n):
        i = 1
        while i <= 6:
            print n*i,   ' \t ',
            i = i + 1
        print

(you may also want to read up on the for-in loop statement;
the tutorial has more information on this)
