Personally, i would skip the sprayer. lots of taping off to do and it may not go on smoothly. you also need to buy a product flotrol is one, to keep the paint thin enough to go thru the sprayer. good quality paint, proper prep, and patience. do one wall at a time top to bottom.
I really don't like spray painting inside or out ... lots of overspray so much taping and plastic sheets and tarps are needed. The first time you need to do a paint touch up? The paint won't match because it was thinned so much to get it to go thru the spray head. Use a roller and a paint brush. What is the painting planned for the floor? Use different sheens even if it's the same color. I recently painted my dining room with a small paint brush! Nice mindless work, and it was the best paint job I'd ever done...sure beat a roller. Our neighbor was a painter and he always used a brush for best results.
I would never spray pain the inside of a house. You are asking for trouble! The fine mist that would accompany the spraying would create a huge clean up challenge as well as possible breathing problems. If it were me, I would stick to the old fashion brush and a roller tools.
I think they make a thing now to spray that has a guard on it .makes going all day up to ceiling without having to take off.my hubby showed it to me.sorry can't tell you where since we don't need just did while house .
