I am not sure what 8 samples per pixel would mean. 3 samples per pixel
is reasonable for an RGB image, a fourth could indicate an alpha
channel, but most people never see more than that unless they're into
professional printing or even more specialized fields.

> How is 1 SPP producing a grayscale image?

Logical: there is 1 sample for every pixel. The sample represents the
grey scale value (0..255) and is expressed in 8 bits (that is, 8 bits
per sample).
