Try the following program:

VDU 2
PRINT "HELLO";
VDU 1,13,1,10
PRINT "      THERE";
VDU 1,13,1,10
VDU 12,3

That should print:

HELLO
      THERE

If you get:

HELLO THERE

then there's something wrong with the printer, there's nothing you
can do at the BBC end. The above program explicitly sends both
carriage return and linefeed, as is what should happen after using
*FX6,0.

I know the feeling. I'm halfway through moving house myself ;)
