Default wallpaper removal question

Try a vinegar and water solution. 1/4 - 1/3 vinegar. Increase the
amount of vinegar if needed, til it works.

Spray and scrape or spray and wipe w/sponge, depending on the nature
of the residue. Let it soak a wee bit (but not dry) before attempting
removal.

This works. I have stripped 5 rooms recently, and it worked on the
toughest of them (just required more steps).

My wife is removing some very old wallpaper off a plaster wall with
wallpaper remover and a roller. She plans on priming and painting the
wall. The paper is all off, but no matter what she doers there seems
to be some glue residue left behind. Does she need to scrape off 100%
of the glue (which she thinks is almost impossible), or will it be OK
if there's some residue left on the walls when she primes and paints?
