    It looks like the adhesive from the wallpaper. You can spray with water and fabric softner and use a putty knife to remove as much as possible. Clean the walls with TSP and prime with water based kilz-it tinted to your paint color. Might take a couple coats of primer but primer is cheaper than paint.
