Yes it does. This processor is used to render the image that is to be printed. This is why the computer must only send text with some formatting data to the printer instead of a rendered image, which would require much more bandwidth.

Do you need a printer with a word processor?

No, the word processing program will still work without a printer. But if you want to print the documents you produce then you will need a printer. Alternatively you could copy the documents you produce to a flash drive and take them to a library, copy shop or a similar place and have them printed there. It depends on how many documents you are going to produce, if you are going to produce a lot it maybe more convenient to have your own printer. If you are not going to produce a lot of documents getting them printed by somebody else may be cheaper.
