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. :-)
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200

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.
A500/030 40mhz with A530, Indivision ECS, , KS 3.1, 2 Megs Chip, 8 Megs fast.
A600 Vampire II
SAM440EP 667, Amiga OS 4.1u1
Dual G4 1.2 Mac MorphOS
Chameleon
CD32
SX64
