I have an NX-10 and yes, she's fully Amiga compatible. Not sure what the 'c' designation means on the end of your printer... color per chance?

Nope. It has a built in Commodore serial interface for use with the C-64.

Provided the hardware connection can be made. It will work provided a driver is available. For such old printer it ought to be less complicated?

Yes, but...

The NX-10 has an internal interface bay in which you can fit any interface you want. The 10C has a built in IEC-interface, but this can easily be replaced by an RS-232 or Centronics interface. Provided you have the correct interface, that is. :-)

The Star NX1000C Rainbow printer I have will not work on the Amiga.  It has only the Commodore serial port and pass-through to other Commodore devices.

The "The 64 Emulator" by ReadySoft had an Amiga to IEC bus adapter that I was able to print with some c64 printers back in the day. I don't remember the details but it would be the only option I believe.
