Most modern emulsion paints should cover any type of wallpaper. The only problem with this is that the weight of paint and water content may 'peel or sag' the original paper on the walls. This will depend on the type of paper etc. My suggestion is, don't cheat, strip the old wallpaper off and then decide whether to paint or paper.

What kind of paint is used on wallpapper?
There is no specific brand of paint designed to cover wallpaper. Paint carries too much moisture to use on top of wallpaper. When paint is applied to wallpaper the wallpaper absorbs some of the moisture and immediately begins to bubble and lift at the seams. Your best bet is to soak the wallpaper with hot water and a sponge and let it soak in completely. Enzyme based wallpaper remover also works well because it eats away the glue backing on the wallpaper. There is a method for painting over wallpaper if for some reason you do not want to remove it. Pick up some shellac primer and apply that to the wallpaper. It dries so quickly the wallpaper doesn't have time enough to bubble. Then you can apply the paint. Word of warning: make sure you have a lot of ventilation when using the shellac. It have very strong fumes. I hope this helps.
