I have the perfection 1660 Photo, but the epkowa backend should work for the 
GT-6800 if the epkowa web page lists it. You will have to add the line 

epkowa

to the file 

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf

iscan and xsane should then find the scanner. Anything past that and you are 
getting out of my depth. Sorry. Hope this helps.
