If you are happy to have smooth plaster and textured paper that wasn't hung to a high standard, then just paint over it.
Alternatively use a "paper tiger" to leave small holes (perforations) in the paper that will allow you to sponge warm water over the surface that will penetrate the paper and loosen the wall paper adhesive.
