In case you're looking into a first task. We need to replace lp_set_cmdline() 
with lpcfg_set_cmdline() everywhere. The reason is that lp_set_cmdline() leaks 
memory.

First start changing the client tools, which will be easy. The server side 
might be a bit trickier. However it will give you a good first entry point.

Here is an example:
