With the Line Tool active make sure the "Pixels" mode is selected and un-check "Anti-alias" in the top bar. Be aware that this is drawing pixels on a raster image layer and your lines aren't editable as vector shape layers would be.

I found a more direct method.


Create a new layer or select a raster layer of choice.
Open the PENCIL tool (my mistake was I had the BRUSH tool open).
Enter the SIZE of the line desired, and MODE to normal.
Create your line. The shift key will hold line horizontal, vertical or 45°.


This method is for Photoshop 7.0.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General... or press Ctrl + K then try changing the interpolation to Nearest Neighbor (preserve hard edges)
