I have done this in several rooms in my house.
Actually it depends on the paper and the adhesive. With a porous paper the
mud can strip the paper quite easily (this is an easy way to REMOVE
wallpaper) however, if you seal the paper with a coat of oil-based primer
then you can simply go right over the wallpaper. Remove any loose or flaking
bits of the paper first.
Mix your mud a bit thin and roll it on with a paint roller, then smooth with
a large (12-18") taping knife for a smooth finish. Other wise you could give
a light skim coat over any seams or holes and texture with a trowel or use a
blow gun.
