My father is running into an issue on his recently-purchased house where the

It won't come off. The paper of the wallboard and the paper of the wallpaper
are now one and the same.
He tried to paint over it, but the dark flowers and ducks could s

enough trim such that it still "
At some point, but it's always much cheaper to peel the wallpaper.

household-strength vinegar (acetic acid), it most c

you can get gallon bottles for about $1.50
we have used 2 gallons so far, & will probably go through another 2.
just don't boil the vinegar, it will loose its good stuff.
boil the water & add equal parts.
