I would remove all the paper and re-paint. It's going to be a bitch of a job, but it's doable with steam and remover solution. I used this cool little tool called the Paper Tiger which puts little holes in your paper to let the removal solution seep in and makes removal easier. It was pretty useful if you use as directed.

The old adage I live by in my house is "Do it right, or do it twice."

Here is the quick and dirty: Clear the room out as good as you can. Lay down painters plastic. Pick up a product called Dif and a tool called a paper tiger, available at hardware stores near the paint, or at regular old paint stores. Follow the instructions to apply. I use a pump sprayer to apply the dif mix. Use this style scraper but make sure you dull the blade's edge beforehand, or you will nick the crap out of your wall. I like to put a horizontal slice across the wall about chest high, then start pulling from that slice. Try to take the biggest piece off the wall that you can. Make sure you get both the wallpaper and the glue layer. The glue layer looks beige and fuzzy when dry but turns paper-bag brown when wet. When all the paper is off, go over the walls with a damp rag to remove any remaining bits of glue. If you have any questions let me know.

edit: You will need to reapply the dif fairly regularly, so I suggest wetting one wall/area at a time. Also added some info above.

Get a wallpaper scorer and some DIF gel. Both are usually available at your local hardware store. Score the border, spray with gel, wait about 10-15 minutes and peel/scrape off the border. If it's stubborn, spray once more, wait another 15 minutes and try again.

Couple thoughts on removing the wallpaper:

  1. See if you can get a drywall knife to slide under the wallpaper - ideally between the wallpaper and its paper backing. When it's painted over, I've found wallpaper can be a lot more tear resistant and easier to remove. If you can, try to gently loosen up big sections at a time and rip 'em off. Then just steam off the paper backing at the end (you can try tearing off the paper backing, but if you're tearing up the drywall just get a steamer for ~$50).
  2. If that doesn't work you can try using something like the paper tiger to perforate everything and then use a steamer to slowly pull-off/chip-away-at the top layer. This will be a lot of work. You'll still probably need to steam off the paper backing at the end.
