Need algrithim for constantly making new objects

Question

How would I go about making an object and then remake the same object again but with a different name.
here is the problem:
for(int i=0;i<23;i++){
//But i want the second time to run around and create a Printer object
//named something else not printer.
Printer printer = new Printer();
any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

Well I my case I'm trying to get different names. So I guess the easist thing I can do is to make an array. But then it brings me to this question,
This is my class:
import java.awt.*;
public class Printer {
     public void init(){
     public void paint(Graphics g,String string,int x,int y){
          g.drawString(string,x,y);
}if I wanted to make an array out of it like so:
Printer[] print = new Printer[xAmount];It says nullPointerException when I try to access the class's function by doing this:
print[0].paint(g,"test",2,3);What can I put in print[0] to make it not null? I mean you can put numbers and letters. (
