Ignore urls in robot.txt with specific parameters?

I would like for google to ignore urls like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/new-printers?dir=asc&order=price&p=3

All urls that have the parameters dir, order and price should be ignored but I dont have experience with Robots.txt.

Any idea?

Here's a solutions if you want to disallow query strings:

Disallow: /*?*

or if you want to be more precise on your query string:

Disallow: /*?dir=*&order=*&p=*

You can also add to the robots.txt which url to allow

Allow: /new-printer$

The $ will make sure only the /new-printer will be allowed.

You can block those specific query string parameters with the following lines

Disallow: /*?*dir=
Disallow: /*?*order=
Disallow: /*?*p=

So if any URL contains dir=, order=, or p= anywhere in the query string, it will be blocked.

Register your website with Google WebMaster Tools. There you can tell Google how to deal with your parameters.

Site Configuration -> URL Parameters

You should have the pages that contain those parameters indicate that they should be excluded from indexing via the robots meta tag. e.g.
