Removing Wallpaper Prior to Painting?

I have just purchased a manufactured home that has pre-printed drywall that was wallpapered over and is all wrinkled. I need to paint and remove wallpaper without destroying the drywall. The paper is glued on. Can someone please help! Thank you.

YOU can remove the old wallpaper: "Use a scoring tool to create holes in the wallpaper. Use a spray bottle to soak the paper. Spray water into the slits so it can work its way behind the covering. Wait about 10 minutes and then scrape off the paper with a putty knife."

Use a razor blade to score and saturate the paper with warm water. It will peel off. Make sure you clean walls well so paint will stick.
