Hi there. you'll have to strip the paper off. I had the same problem when i moved in to my present home. Strip off what you can and soak the walls with hot soapy water and leave it to soak for few minutes, then use a paint scraper to remove the rest Its worth it to get a better finish.I tried using a steamer but it was taking to long. Good luck.
