How to make htaccess rule for a URL with specific characters?

I need to 301 redirect all ?print=yes URLs to the URLs without ?print=yes that contain the same name in them through .htaccess. Currently the button to PRINT is present in the header of the website so it's more than 70 URLs to fix... Removing the button to PRINT the page will ruin the design quite a bit, so it's not really an option.

I think it needs to be a RedirectMatch rule, but how do I write it?

Example: redirect 301 from domain.com/faq/?print=yes to domain.com/faq

Thanks in advance!

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^print=yes$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L,NE]

I am not sure if redirect can do the same but here is how I would do it with rewrite

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?print=yes$ $1 [NC]
