First, about grammar: All ten sentences are grammatically correct, except for a small typo in sentence 10. In number 10, "He" should not be capitalized after the comma. After fixing that, all the sentences are fine. Second, about meaning: Yes, they all express the same basic meaning. In every case, the idea is that he did two things — he printed books and he published books. However, the style and the feeling are a little different between them. Here are the small differences: Sentences 1, 8, 9, and 10 use phrases like "as well as" and "besides." These sentences give the feeling that publishing was an extra activity in addition to printing. It sounds like publishing is added information. Sentences 2, 3, and 4 use "not only... but also..." This structure sounds a little more formal or dramatic. It emphasizes that he did two important actions, not just one. Sentences 5 and 6 are the simplest and most neutral. They just state the facts in a direct way without adding any special feeling. Sentence 7 uses "both... and..." which makes the two actions sound equally important. It gives a strong and complete feeling, stressing that he really did both things. Finally, just remember: after a comma, do not capitalize unless it's a proper noun. So in number 10, it should be "Besides printing them, he published books."
