Spray with wallpaper remover, let sit, scrape.
Is it wallboard and was it primed prior to putting the wall covering up? Our wall covering was put up on unpainted wallboard and when we removed it after soaking, scraping etc, we had gouges and pieces taken out of the surface, which had spray texturing. Our painter just removed as much as he could and had the walls resprayed with texture which was the easier thing to do.
It sounds like the paper was put up on unprimed Sheetrock. If you don't want to refinish the Sheetrock you could sand the walls and remove as much glue as possible, then prime. To make the sanding less tedious get a Sheetrock sander and mesh screens, the long pole eliminates the need for a ladder, and standing on your head. When the wall feels smooth put on two coats of killz II. The walls are ready to paint or paper.
I had the same problem. I had spent many hours with a steamer and wallpaper removers. I happened to use a baby wipe to remove some of the scraped glue off and realized the did better than anything I had tried. Thereafter I patted 4 or 6 wipes on the wall and let them set 20 minutes. I peeled them off and the glue scrapped off very easy with a scraper. Wish I had discovered earlier in the project.
