A method for manufacturing a lithographic printing plate precursor requiring no dampening water including: a support, a light-to heat conversion layer; and a silicone rubber layer in this order. The method includes: subjecting a surface of the support to a corona discharge treatment in a discharge amount of 0.01 to 0.12 kW/m.sup.2/minute; or subjecting a surface of the support to a corona discharge treatment so that the surface has an element ratio of oxygen to carbon of 0.41 or more, which is measured by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic; and providing the light-to-heat conversion layer directly on the surface of the support.
