You have a job plotting in the background. Turn off background plotting. Go to Options, Plot and Publish and uncheck Enable background plot for both plotting and publishing.

Hi there,

Good day!

This warning may occur if background plotting is enabled.

Disable Background Plotting

When background plotting is enabled, no more than one drawing can be sent to be plotted at the same time. To disable background plotting, do one of the following:

Set the BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable to 0.

Kindly refer this article for future reference - "A plot or publish job is already being processed in the background" in AutoCAD products
