How to print last <n> pages of a file?

How can I print the last <n> pages of a text file?  Said file has form
feeds at random places, so "tail -132 file | lpr" won't work.  Now, I tried
"pr file | tail -132" but that includes the 5-line headers and footers
that I don't want and don't get with "lpr file".  So I tried 
"pr -t file | tail -132" but the -t option turns off page filling so the
form feeds aren't expanded :-(.

Any suggestions?  SunOS 4.1 over here.
