Hello all!

I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a problem on AutoCAD LT 2008.  Up until recently, I could send multiple print or plot jobs out, one after another, and they would sit in a queue and plot in the background.  About two weeks ago, though,  AutoCAD stopped allowing me to do this.  It will only let me print/plot 1 file at a time... if I try to plot  a second sheet I get the message

"Job already in progress.  A plot or publish job is already being processed in the background.  Only one job can be processed at a time."

I have checked my print/plot settings in AutoCAD and in Windows, and everything appears to be correct.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled AutoCAD (including SP-1) but the situation has not changed.  This is greatly decreasing my  efficiency,  turning a 5 minute task into a 15 minute task.

Does anyone have any idea how to correct this?

You may want to disable background plotting in AutoCAD (does not disable your plot queuing) - see:

Thank you very much.  Disabling the background plotting seems to have done the trick.
