Best Wallpaper Primer?

What would you use as a Primer for Wall Paper? A Primer meant to be used under wallpaper. Or a general use Acrylic Primer?

don't care if you personally would just paint. This is my mom. She wants Wall Paper in her bathroom. The Paper has be purchased. And Paper will be used. When we have papered in the past Zinsser was recommended as the best. Now she's been sold by the same store an Acrylic Primer for paint...

    Definately use a primer/wallpaper sizer for underneath the wallpaper. This will allow you to work with the wallpaper better when you are hanging it, and if ever you decide to remove the wallpaper it will make that job much better too.

    What needs to be used under wallpaper is wallpaper sizing. It's a starch like substance that gets painted on the walls before applying wallpaper. It serves as a barrier between the paint and wallpaper for easy removal and good adhesion.
