Painting on a wall that wallpaper has been removed from.

Do you have to sand?
Can you use water based primer then water based paint?
Have you ever heard of Gripper primer.

I would sand it lightly to smooth it out. As far as a primer I would use the GARDZ primer from Zinnser which will hold back any glue that may be still on the wall. Then you will be able to apply two coats of the latex topcoat of your choice.
