I think you're confusing SamplesPerPixel with BitsPerSample.

Subject: [Tiff] Re: Help with TIFFWriteScanline()
After browsing the mailing list archives I found out about the tiffinfo tool. tiffinfo reported that my original image had a SamplesPerPixel of 1. For some reason, unbeknownst to me, my program is getting a value of 0 for SamplesPerPixel from the original image. So I manually set the value to 8, because that is what I understand the specification to be (8 or 16 SPP for grayscale/color and 1 SPP for bilevel). After changing my manual SPP value from 8 to 1 the copied image is written correctly.
This is the first time I've done any graphics programming. So I'm sure that I am not understanding something. Would someone please explain this situation to me? Would 8 SPP squeeze the image into a smaller space? How is 1 SPP producing a grayscale image?
