If the existing trim and doors have a high gloss lacquer coating the painter will likely need to sand and prep all of the woodwork.If you were just painting walls and ceilings and touching up trim I would expect to pay around $3,000, but with the additional $1,400 for ceiling retexturing, and $1,000+ for wallpaper removal and additional labor to sand and prep all woodwork the $6k quote doesn't seem too unreasonable.The only way to know if the quote is high is to get 2 other quotes from other painting contractors for comparison.
