headless set up of raspbian jessie with a macbook for airprint printing
* download raspbian and follow instructions
* apparently as of this month to enable ssh on boot a file simply called "ssh" in the boot partition(!) is enough
this is different from before where boot.rc in /boot/ on the ext/linux partition had to be changed
-> tried this first via http://www.geekytidbits.com/mount-sd-card-virtualbox-from-mac-osx/ to read the partition from virtualized ubuntu (macOS cant handle ext)
* share macbooks wifi connection (System Preferences -> Sharing -> share from WiFi to Thunderbolt Ethernet and activate the box)
* tested via ping to google.com and took longer than expected. Cancelled multiple times until I realized it's just slow
* follow instructions at http://www.techradar.com/how-to/computing/how-to-turn-the-raspberry-pi-into-a-wireless-printer-server-1312717
* for wifi set up https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md
