Q: Isn't there any Word type program that comes with a new Mac that allows you to print the document?  The only thing I can find is Pages but it doesn't print?

Too vague. What is your printer and is it setup and added properly?

Pages is http://www.apple.com/support/pages which also links to Pages Community

And your Brother was added in Printer setup control panel? And your have ML; you have the current supported driver for Brother and it WORKS in other apps.

• OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
• Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

Did you pay for that version of Pages? The free Demo version may have Printing turned off (and that's why it's not the full version).

Regular Pages prints just fine. Print is at the bottom of the File Menu, like always.

The full version of Pages is only US$19.99 at the MacApp Store.

Try TextEdit (Applications folder).  It can print simple Word files.

A pretty good (and free) variation on Microsoft Office (including Word) is LibreOffice, which you can get here. You can open, edit, and print MS Word documents.
